My right eye has SPH 13.0, CYL 2.0, and AXIS 170, while my left eye has SPH 7.5, CYL 1.5, and AXIS 175. I currently wear glasses but I'm considering LASIK surgery would I be a good candidate for it with these numbers? I'm a bit worried about the high SPH in my right eye and how that might affect the results.

Yes ICL is the best option option before you. Or You may use contact lenses. You must not use specs

my right eye is already damaged from diabetes and now the doctor says i need cataract surgery in my left eye but my hba1c is 10.9 though fasting sugar stays under 130 is it safe to proceed with the surgery

HbA1c above 10.5 increases risk; bring sugar down before surgery to avoid complications‚Äîfasting alone is not enough.
