What Causes Severe Pain After An Arm Surgery?

my niece had extensive ortho repair surgery on her arm yesterday. she is on a lot of pain meds, and today she is seeing a purple hue to everything in one of her eyes. no headaches etc. this eye could possibly be more dialated than the other but not sure. IS this a possible side effect of meds?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Painkiller drugs are not causing any ocular side effects. So I don't think her eye problem is due to painkiller drugs. Better to consult ophthalmologist and get done clinical examination of eyes.
She might also need retinal examination.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
