The key information given is that his blood work from 1 month ago showed normal hemoglobin, INR, and A1c. His vital signs at the visit are also normal. Since his medical conditions appear to be well-controlled and his recent lab work does not indicate any issues with anemia or coagulation, repeating labs is likely unnecessary. An EKG, stress test, and delaying surgery are also not indicated based on the information provided. The patient is asymptomatic and eager for the procedure. Therefore, the most appropriate next step is to medically clear him for cataract surgery.A: Medically clear the patient for surgery
