Many times at night, when I'm in a group of older people, I see a strange glassy circle in the center of each person's eyes from their cataract lens. These people had their surgery several years ago (it's now 2018); is this something that still happens from the surgery or are there new lenses that don't create this strange look? I'm almost ready for the surgery but am waiting until I'm sure I won't have that look, too.

Thank you for sharing your question. Your complaints are not unusual. Sometimes the problem is a film on the implant which can be lasered or it can be dryness for which you should use artificial tears. Often it just takes extra time to recover. I hope this helps.
Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your questions. There is no way to know what’s causing your problem without an in-person consultation. Make an appointment with a board-certified ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation.
Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your question. The is no correlation between cataract surgery and swollen eyelids. It is most likely allergies, but eyelids often swell up for no apparent reason. If you are concerned, have a consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon. I hope this helps.
Good luck,
