Can medications cloud an implant?

I use 3 different eye drops in the eye with the implant.  One of the medications is milky and somewhat viscous.
I think the medications is trapping behind the lens implant.  My vision is always blurred.  The medications were originally prescribed for a massive increase in eye pressure that occurred after numerous injections for AMD.

No your theory is wrong. Medications injected into the back of the eye for wet ARMD (lucentis, avastin, eylea, steroids) will not cloud an implant.  It is far more likely that your vision is blurred due to the wet ARMD.

Discuss with your ophthalmologist for some reassurance. Several glaucoma medications are not clear such as Azopt. Failure to use your glaucoma medications could cause you to go completely blind.
