My mom had cataract surgery in her right eye a while ago but the redness hasn't gone away yet. She doesn't have any pain or irritation though. What's the best way to treat this? Should we be worried about the redness sticking around?

Redness in the eye after cataract surgery is a common side effect and usually resolves on its own within a few weeks. If your mom isn't experiencing pain or irritation, and the redness isn't worsening, it's generally not a cause for major concern. However, it's always best to consult her ophthalmologist to rule out any complications or potential infection

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.
