Do Prolensa, Xiidra And Durezol Cause Slow Healing After A Cataract Surgery?
I’m on plavix and have recently had 3-4 months orders for various steroids plus. Had cataract surgery with complications late Nov. this called for a second surgical intervention the next day. (Left part of the debris in). My list includes prolensa, pared acetate, Xiidra , ivero, durezol,ofloxacin,alevro. Problems: slow healing, dry eye symptoms, pain. I’m wondering if any of the drugs are causing increased bleeding time... or other interactions.
