What are the complications and risk factors of cataract surgery for a 93 year old diabetic?

Asked by sdebartolo  |  Jun 13, 2009

My mother cannot take aspirin for 7 days prior to cataract surgery. She has had a stroke, carotid artery surgery, open heart surgery and has atherosclerosis. Aspirin serves as an anticoagulent. She has one carotid artery with more than 85% blockage.
