I have high eye pressure after cataract surgery. Is it normal?

It's uncommon and a cause of concern. Check with your ophthalmic surgeon
Eye pressure can be temporarily high after uncomplicated cataract surgery. This usually resolves after the first week. If your eye pressure remains high, then your surgeon needs to address it, often by placing you on pressure-reducing drops for several weeks. Unless it is very high, it is not usually an emergency.
Yes. But the pressure should return to normal in a few days.
