Hello
It seems from the history that your mother has undergone cataract surgery and she is having headache following surgery.
This is not normal and needs to be evaluated to find out the cause.
The causes can be because of inflammation caused by surgery, secondary increase in intraocular pressure caused by surgery or refractive error caused by surgery.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
