Yes.: Very minor risk associated with this. Restart after surgery.

Yes!: Indeed it is needed to prevent intraocular bleeding. So please listen to the eye surgeon advise!

Asa: You don't want to bleed into the eye. Ask your doctor but the reason for stopping is valid. Don't know enough about you to advise.
