It's understandable that you're concerned about your granny's persistent pain after cataract surgery. While it's common to experience some discomfort after surgery, it's unusual for it to last for seven years. It's crucial to have your granny's eye doctor re-evaluate her condition and determine the cause of the pain.

Both laser-assisted and traditional cataract surgery methods are effective, but laser-assisted surgery often offers greater precision and potentially faster recovery.
