Blood pressure - can I still have cataract surgery if I have high blood pressure?

If you have high blood pressure, you can usually still have cataract surgery. Blood pressure may temporarily rise due to anxiety during appointments, known as White Coat Syndrome, but as long as it’s not dangerously high, surgery can generally proceed safely. Your surgical team will monitor your blood pressure and take any necessary precautions to ensure a safe procedure.
