Cataract surgery
Dear Doctor,
I hope you're doing well. I am planning to undergo cataract surgery and wanted to check if my current sugar levels are suitable for the procedure. Kindly let me know the minimum required blood sugar levels (fasting/postprandial or HbA1c) before the operation, and if I need to take any specific precautions.
Thank you for your guidance.
