What's your count? They won't do it if it's too low.

I would check with my hematologist.
I've not had cataract surgery yet but when the time comes I will get it!

You can get bleeding of the vessels by the retina although it's rare. I'd want a decent count for it but 66 is probably okay. The haematologist could advise.

If everything went well, it would be ok.
My husband ended up with a detached retina and hemorrhaging.
