Hello,
It seems from the history that your mother has inflammation in the eyes following surgery which goes away once she uses steroid eye drops and because of inflammation her vision is getting decreased.
Hence I advice you to consult the ophthalmic surgeon for examination of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye to find out the source of inflammation and treatment accordingly,
Thank you
