My mom is 50 and needs cataract surgery but she's also dealing with tooth pain right now. Is it safe to proceed with the eye surgery or should we address the dental issue first?

Cataract surgery can usually proceed but active dental infection should be treated first to avoid complications.

Consult a Ophthalmologist
