Hi, my mother needs to undergo operation for cataract in the left eye… Which point should I sedate or tone ? Will gv23 sedate do ? Or any other point… Thank you.

I would recommend you start by reading:

Acupuncture point treatment plan” preparation guide
and
What Does Acupuncture Treat

Long story short, acupuncture is not a point to condition modality. You will get very poor results, if any, by treating symptoms and not causes.

Other pages such as “acupuncture for eye conditions” and “acupuncture for glaucoma” will give you some ideas.
