I've had cataract surgery 4 weeks ago in my left eye ( I'm 43 years old) I can see clearly now but when I look in the mirror and the light is shining in the mirror my pupil looks strange. It looks like there is a eyedrop in my eye and I can see a very bright light reflecting in my pupil, it is scary and sometimes other people can see the same in my eye... Will this dissapear? Or is there anything that will help make it dissapear like collored contact lens?
