Distorted vision after cataract surgery
My father (60) had a cataract surgery on his right eye with a monofocal IOL (Eyhance). 36 hours after surgery, he says he's seeing things slightly bent with his right eye. Is this distorted vision normal? Will it subside?

It's too early to comment. You need to wait for 2 weeks atleast for eye to settle .
