Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of an Ophthalmologist suggesting an angiogram, for the next/ second eye surgery is indicative of that you are either suffering from hypertension or there is some arterio-venous malformation.
Hence it is imperative to know the exact diagnosis in advance so that a proper Ophthalmic treatment can be done.
So get this done as well as fitness as far as diabetes and hypertension.
