Brief Answer:
He can undergo cataract surgery.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I am Dr. Dadapeer K an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history and the reports attached with the question.

Since all the blood tests like blood sugar and blood pressure are normal cataract surgery can be done.
The only precautions need to be taken are treatment of cough if it is severe.

Since you are on Ecosprin tablet it may need to be stopped 3 days before surgery as per the opinion of your cardiologist.

Otherwise no problem he can go for cataract surgery.
Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
