line in eye

Hello

My mother had laser eye surgery on her left eye two weeks ago. The surgery was to make an additional opening to drain fluid from the eye. This is because the space between her iris and cornea was too tight that her eye was not draining through the side. In addition, she has cataracts and glaucoma. Since the surgery she sees a straight line through the middle of her eye. She has been vomiting for the past 4 day severely and has a severe migraine. I figure maybe, because she is focusing on the line it may have made her dizzy and nauseous. I am hope you can tell me if the line is a result of the surgery? She never had the line before. Would such a horizontal line be a common risk factor of the surgery? Can the line be corrected, surgery related or not? Please help me with some insight. I am beginning to freak out and so is she.
