cataract removal?

Question

Is it necessary to go off blood thinner to have cataract surgury?

Answer 1

Answer - No

cataracts are not done by lasers......

They are done by ultrasound, yes, there can be some bleeding, but it is minimal.

Better to stay on the blood thinner than have a stroke or heart attack

and - why is this question under the cancer section?

Answer 2

Consult your doctor.
It doesn't sound like a necessity. There is no blood involved in cataract removal. It's done by laser, takes a very short time, no anesthetic, no pain.
