What Causes Dizziness And Blindness After Glaucoma Surgery?

My dad had glaucoma surgery about 2 weeks ago, he has a blood clot behind his eye. He is on Coumadin. The last couple of days he has had an experience when he stands up from sitting to long he gets very dizzy and goes blind. He says that he can see floral prints. could this be related to the recent eye surgery or is something else going on
