Hello @dehai, I hope you are doing well? To answer your question, yes the sugar level is always a contributing factor when it comes to the eye, so long as the sugar level continues to be high the sugary will have to be put on hold to avoid surgical complications and wound healing complications.

Again, he may notice that anytime the sugar spikes the vision deteriorates, I am certain the surgery has been held back due to the sugar because then your husband could also easily develop posterior subcapsular opacities after the surgery.

For now my advice would be to have a co-management plan with your general physician and Ophthalmologist to keep it down. Also, if the cataract hasn’t matured, the surgery may be put on hold for a while. I hope this helps. Stay safe and have a fruitful week

Sugar levels are systemic and thus ought to be seen by a general physician, is it not a situation that drops can remedy. What i can advise is to take in lots of fruits and vegetables during this period, you may give him vitamin C supplements, it is the most powerful antioxidant with regards to the eye.
