That the risk was low is little comfort if it occurs in your particular case. It's impossible to say without examination, but it sounds as if you may have had a reactive macular oedema after the operation, which could well leave the vision "jazzy" even with best glasses. *If* that's what it is, sometimes that self-resolves after a few months, rarely laser therapy can help, often there is no active treatment. If dark glasses help, but sunglasses are too dark, glasses can be made with *any* depth of tint. Assessing both of these will need an eye doctor you can trust.
