Is LASIK not a good idea while taking progesterone?
OCT 01, 2015
Question:
I’m not pregnant, nor will I be soon, but I’m currently doing a treatment that requires taking progesterone (Progeffik, 200 mg per day). Is LASIK not a good idea while taking this drug? I’m farsighted and have a little astigmatism.
Answer:
This should not be an issue as long as your refraction (glasses prescription) is stable compared to what you were wearing prior to taking the medicine. Also tear testing should be performed to make sure that it is not causing dry eye issues. This can be dealt with as well. Good luck.
