Hi, welcome XXXXXXX,

Cataract operation is not a troublesome procedure now a days. Still, there is such disturbance to normal corneal layers which may cause some problems like infection or photophobia.

Your mom got operated 2 months back and still have watering at time suggests there is some infection which is not responding completely for medication.

It will better to contact same ophthalmologist for the symptoms as he/she knows the past history and intraoperative changes properly.

There are reviews written by our users about doctors in our listing, those can guide you for a better doctor. You can search for a doctor in your area. WWW.WWWW.WW
I would still prefer that your mother gets back to the primary operating ophthalmologist.

Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
