Brief Answer:
Please upload reports and eye images.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
I can guide you better if you can please upload the medications and operative discharge summary sheets and both eye images.
This will help me to go through the type of cataract surgery offered to you and possible complications that can arise both with the procedure. as well as the medi prescribed to you.
The possibility of anaesthetic complication exists even though rare.
Mostly this should be a operation related issue.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Possible post operative infection of eyelids
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I have worked through your attached list of medications and images.
The swelling is possibly due to post operative infection of eyelid.
Occasionally it can spread to other eye due to intervenous communications.
This swelling and infection will resolve in 2 weeks.Don't worry.
You are rightly prescribed excellent antibiotics and steroids and other antiinflammatory medications that can effectively combat infection and reduce the swelling.
As earlier said ,this isn't related to anaesthetic complication.
You should get better with time.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
