Post Cataract Surgery

Why would your eye, become enflammed after cataract removal.  This is the second time, my eye had gotten red, and aches. I was told to start taking the steroid, and antibiotic medicine again, and I did.  The inflammation cleared up, but a week or two later, it was back again.  I would like to know, what could be the possible, cause.

Depending on things like when your eye was operated on these could be SERIOUS complaints and problems. Contact your surgeon immediately and try and get in today to determine if it is a serious cause.
