Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that your father is posted for cataract surgery.
Ecosprin is usually stopped for 7-10 days during cataract surgery to prevent bleeding during surgery.
This has to be stopped after consultation with cardiologist.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for advice and cataract surgery.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
