                        Tim I had cataract surgery 5/14/2001.  My vision got worse instead of better.  Five days after surgery (I was doing fine) I had pain.  The after care meds I believed caused it.  My doctor too says "he's mystified, he's never seen this before".  It doesn't give you the warm fuzzies.  My vision is now coming back slowly.  BUT I have dry eye syndrome which I'm told is permanent.  I went in for one thing and came out (in my opinion) worse.  PAIN.  If your father isn't in pain that may be the only blessing.  I didn't have this before the surgery.  I pray that your dad gets a real and good answer and hope by now he is healing.  Sorry my experience not the same wish I could help and maybe even have a better answer for you.  The Corneal Research Center back East game me a name for a second opinion when I wrote them.  They repsonded in 24 hours.  Explain your problem to them and they may know someone who can give you more concise answers.  Hope this can help.
