I have a cylindrical power of 4 in my right eye can this be corrected with surgery or are there other ways to reduce it? I'm worried about whether it's even possible to fully get rid of it

Cylindrical number or Astigmatism cannot be corrected naturally. One may be able to avoid glasses alltogether for small numbers but will require wearing glasses or contact lenses to see clearly. Of course Lasik can be performed to get rid of cylindrical number

Had PRK surgery a year ago but still have some dryness in my eyes is it okay to use a warm compress for relief?
Yes, using a warm compress for relief of dry eyes after PRK surgery is generally considered safe and can be helpful. It can help to stimulate the meibomian glands, which produce the oily substance that keeps tears from evaporating too quickly

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—fasting alone is not enough.
