So, my mom's got cataracts in both her eyes and the doc mentioned surgery was an option. Back when we discussed it, her blood sugar was stable. But now, her fasting blood sugar's at 142 and the post-meal is 138. With these levels, is it still safe to go ahead with the operation?

I'm dealing with an issue for the past 5 or 6 days where I have a small pimple-like swelling at the corner of my right eye. It seems to be coming from the inside layer, and it's pretty annoying because it itches and hurts sometimes. What could be causing this? Would appreciate your advice.
