post catarct surgery

I had cataract surgery last week and now am seeing I have a "bag" under my eye...I've never had bags before..its 10 days since surgery...I have complete faith in my opthalmologist here in Teaneck, NJ...I'd just like a second response on why this might be?

Yes, my understanding is a "bag" IS swelling..that much I understood. Thank you for your response.

Dear Jo155,

The bag underneath your eyelid may represent swelling; however, I would recommend that you ask your eyeMD.
