What Causes Severe Migraines, Photophobia And Vision Impairment After Cataract Implantation?

I have never worn glasses and in 2009 I was diagnosed with cataracts and was told they develop over the years. The next year my night vision severely worsened and I saw a specialist and I was told to have immediate cataract implants in both eyes. I had the surgery as agreed in2010. Since my surgery I have suffered from migraines deep in eye sockets and I have severe photophobia and vision impairment when I read or use the computer. The quality of my life has diminished and I am disabled. After the surgery the surgeon was very angry with me and asked If I remembered what happened during surgery. I commented how could I , I was under sedation. He said you don t remember trying to jump off the table and hitting your head? I was shocked and taken back. I did inform surgeon that I have a tolerance to sedatives and anesthesia due to an almost fatal car accident. There was trauma to face but only temporary due to glass fragments on face not near eyes. Please advise me what to do I have seen at least four surgeons who all told me to wear dark glasses. To this day I cannot go outside without my sunglasses or I will get a migraine. If I go to Target without my dark glasses I have to cover my eyes and my brain screams overstimulation from light. Just writing these few sentences has set off a migraine. Please help, Liz
