Brief Answer:
Cataract surgery should be ok

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

In my opinion, if it is a bit of fluctuation with BP, then a cataract surgery should be ok. However since ophthalmologist wants an opinion from a cardiologist, kindly post a specialist query for cardiologist so that you can get their reply
