It can depend upon how long after surgery.
Cloudy vision after cataract surgery is common and may last from a few hours to a few days.
Vision after uneventful cataract surgery can be cloudy for several days. If longer, or if it was clear right after surgery, but has become cloudier now, let your surgeon know soon.
Sometimes yes, due to corneal edema. But it resolves after using post-cataract eye drops.
