Can Eye Surgery Be Done When Suffering From Sore Throat And Sinus?
I am having my second eye operated on for cataracts next week. I have done great (3wks) after first surgery. I just developed a sinus/upper respitory situation. Sore throat, head congestion and sinus pain on left side. No fever. Will they go ahead and do my surgery if I'm not well by then? Thanks

It is better to wait and treat present ailment. After you are fully cured then go for surgery. Delaying the surgery will not have any problem.
