CATARACT SURGERY & PRED
Today they called to say I could have my right eye
cataract
surgery
done this Monday. Do you think it advisable to do so and also, if I do should I drop the pred back down to 11 mg starting tonight? I would not like waiting til July, but is it worth risking whatever.

Confused…?
Have had two successful Trabs. and now have been advised that Cataracts are present and are beginning to cause a problem, but have been advised that
cataract
surgery
may have negative effect on Trabs? Any experience of this situation out there?👍

Cataract surgery?
Has anyone had any
cataract
surgery
while taking Pegasys? Is there a problem with eye surgery while taking Interferon? I'm about to be changed over to Pegasys from Hydrea, and also about to have
cataract
surgery
. Some of the things I've read seem to indicate that may be a problem.

Hi all! Had my right eye done yesterday. Seems to have gone very well. Easy peezy. Good drugs. Took about 20 minutes at the most. Everything is so much brighter today. I can now see the dirt on my floors. Nasty! I didn't realize how difficult reading was and my specs weren't helping. Lol. I do have 3

upcoming cataract surgery
Any advice? do I take prednisone after surgery since I will be fasting overnight? How long do I have to wait until I can bend over? Does it take longer to heal with prednisone? I'm on 3 mg.

cataract surgery and prednisolone dose
Will I have to increase the dose to have
cataract
surgery
? Would it be better to have it done sooner rather than later (relative terms anyway these days)?

Cataract surgery with AMD
Am having
cataract
surgery
on 23rd October in right eye first. I am short sighted and have agreed to have sight corrected at same time. I am now worried about wisdom of this as think it will highlight distortion in vision and will have to have reading glasses for the first time in my life.

GCA symptoms
Developed GCA after
cataract
surgery
within 4 days. Finally recognized by great Rheumatologist. I'm being treated with 8mls. liquid prednisolone twice a day. So far so good. Dr. recommended slow taper 1mls per week. Will start tomorrow. I hope I can keep to new schedule.

Stopping Ibrutinib
Thanks, The stoppage will help as I will need
cataract
surgery
soon plus knee replacement in the near future. I am most concerned how soon can the CLL come back and will resuming Ibrutinib simply put it in remission again.

Anyone opted for private Cataract surgery?
Have just had a routine eye test and been told I need
cataract
surgery
. I thought I needed new glasses but it turns out it's cataracts! Anyway my optician has referred me on the NHS via my GP but I'm wondering about going private as I have no idea how long I will have to wait for NHS treatment.
