Question : I have been taking A D H D meds for quite a while about 15 years. I am 68 I still work . I can not get all my ducks in a row without my medicine for attention deficit hyperactive disorder. I have had cataract removed and a lens put in both eyes. I haven't had any problems with my left eye. But the right eye is another story I have been seeing a retina and vitreous doctor for almost a year. The doctor has given me a shot in my eye 3 different times.
