I just had catarac surgery a week ago and I'm wondering if my eye will ever feel normal again. I feel like I'm looking out a porthole andd light from the side really bothers me.

I can tell you that you will probably always be sensitive to light. When they replace your lense with an artificial one, it's going to seem different. My husband and our daughter were both born with conjenital cataracts. when our daughter was 4 she had implants and her sight was acually worse from the implants then before when she wore thick glasses because an artifical lense can mishape they eys...good luck
