Hello
It seems from the history that you are having blurred vision after cataract surgery. The common causes for blurred vision after cataract surgery are corneal edema, surgery induced iridocyclitis, cystoid macular edema...
Since in your case the blurred vision is present on waking up in the morning and improves as the day advances, it is most probably because of corneal edema or because of secondary raise of intraocular pressure.
The treatment is by use of antiglaucoma drugs and by use of hyperosmotic agents.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
