My dad just had cataract surgery done in one eye, the other is scheduled next week. His eye is still blood shot and blurred vision almost a week later.
What is concerning us is the fact that when he see's bright lights (car lights, street lights) he says its like seeing fireworks or a ferris wheel the way the vision is......
Are these typical affects? Should he be worried? Will it wear off?
The affects of the light are in the eye he had surgery on....also notices a halo around headlights....he's only 50.
I wanted to research this more before he goes in for the second operation

I had my right eye done 7 weeks ago, my sight has been quite variable since, they say it takes between 2-6 weeks to heal, I have had blurred vision but nothing as dramatic as you describe, he should definitely mention it to the centre who performed the procedure, they will either reassure him all is well or else try to correct any possible concerns.
Have a look at this
