Eye pain

I had cataract surgery on my right eye in October - it is now March and I still have pain - eye tires very easily from reading or using t he   computer - Doctor is not convenced that I have pain or why _ - wondering where I can go to get help for the eye pain or if there is anyone out there that has any idea as to why I have pain.
My thought is that the d rops that were used in the operation before and after could have caused damage to a nerve either that or the lights could have caused the problem - possibly allergic to the drops - pain is simular to pain from migrain headaches.

Hi there!  I had cataract surgery done on both eyes and I had similar problems on the first eye that was done. The migraine-like pain disappeared after the doctor changed the steroid drops brand.  It is two months now since my surgery and I'm down to once a day drop, however, I'm now experiencing prickly pain behind the lower eyelid that gets worse as the day goes.

I'm wondering if your problem ever got resolved.
