My mom is 60 and has had cataracts for a year now she can barely see. Her pulse rate is under 42. Can she still get cataract surgery with such a low pulse rate? What should we do?

While cataract surgery is generally safe, a very low pulse rate (under 42) requires careful consideration and may necessitate further evaluation before surgery. Your mom's low pulse rate could be a sign of bradycardia, a condition where the heart beats too slowly, which may require medical intervention before surgery can proceed. It's crucial to consult with her doctor and a cardiologist to determine the cause of the low pulse rate and if it's safe to proceed with surgery
