Can I Have Laser Eye Surgery If I Am Taking Prescription Drugs?
Most prescription drugs will have no effect on the eye and in fact no effect directly on the actual treatment or the results of the treatment. It is of course important for us here at the London Vision Clinic to discuss the potential side-effects that drugs may have on the eyes or on the outcome of the patient’s surgery. Factors like increasing dry eye or causing extra corneal oedema, swelling of the cornea etc, may be side effects under certain medication.
