The patient is 91 years old. 25 days ago, he had a cataract operation on his right eye. the operation was done with full anesthesia. he was okay in the first two days after the operation, but after that, he started to refuse to drink and eat anything?

Would suggest immediate medical attention. How this relates to the procedure is unclear, but concerns for infection, medication reactions, problems with cognition, vitamin status, etc. are just part of an evaluation. Do not delay. An Urgent Care Center or an Emergency Room would be a good starting place.
