Yes, it is important to stop Ecospirin AV 75 (aspirin) before cataract surgery as it can increase the risk of bleeding during the procedure. Your father's doctor is following the standard protocol to minimize any potential complications. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and discontinue Ecospirin AV 75 as instructed before the surgery.
