My mom had cataract surgery in her right eye a while ago but the redness hasn't gone away yet. She doesn't have any pain or irritation though. What's the best way to treat this? Should we be worried about the redness sticking around?

Redness in the eye after cataract surgery is a common side effect and usually resolves on its own within a few weeks. If your mom isn't experiencing pain or irritation, and the redness isn't worsening, it's generally not a cause for major concern. However, it's always best to consult her ophthalmologist to rule out any complications or potential infection
