Pulsating/flashing eyeball after cataract surgery

Pulsating/flashing eyeball after cataract surgery

10 months ago, I had cataract surgery in my right eye. As soon as they took off the bandage, my eye was "pulsating". It is not my eyelid but seems to be my eyeball going from light to dark in a pulsating sensation, mostly around bright lights. The pulsating cannot be seen by a eye surgeon. I cannot stay in a brightly lit store without sunglasses on. It usually gives me a headache. The cataract surgeon wanted to do the other eye right away but I said not until the pulsating goes away, it never did, but got 75% better over the last 10 months. I had to have the left eye done 10 days ago, and as soon as the doctor took off the bandage, the left eye is doing the same thing, now I have two eyes pulsating! It is driving me crazy, giving me (migraine?) headaches, and am sometimes dizzy from the pulsating. Both doctors never heard of this problem. Can someone please help me? Thank you.
