what can be done about a dent after cataract operation

I had two cataract operations.  The left eye went great.  The right eye I was two hours late going in, medicine had worn off, and the doctor started to operate when his assistant stated the machine wasn't on.  They then waited a few minutes and continued.  Had clowdy eye, large pupil that night , next day double vision, then when that went away have a shadow on side of eye where incision is. There is a small dent there now which has not gone away since opertation which was five weeks ago and that seems to be where the shadow is and cloudy behind shadow.
Question is:  can a dent that accord because of the incision be corrected?  if so how? and is there complications if that is done?    Thank you,     Peggy Fischer

A "debt" is neither a medical condition or a precise term. Discuss your problem with the surgeon. If you still feel unsure get a second opinion from another Eye MD.
