Eye pain after cataract surgery is not common so you need to ask your surgeon so it can be managed properly.
You probably should speak to your surgeon for their advice. They might want to see you and make sure nothing serious is going on.
Your surgeon should have prescribed medicated eyedrops to prevent infection (an antibiotic) and calm inflammation and pain (a steroid and sometimes also an NSAID.) You should call your surgeon's office if you're experiencing pain.

If you are having any type of eye pain after cataract surgery, you should IMMEDIATELY contact your eye doctor and see him/her ASAP. Do not treat this, in any way on your own. I cannot know what level of pain that you are experiencing or what the cause is, but this is something that must be discussed and evaluated with your eye doctor. Good luck and best wishes.
Your surgeon should have prescribed medicine for you to use after your cataract surgery, if those med does not help you with the pain, CALL YOUR SURGEON ASAP.
Antibiotics and anti inflammatory eye drops
