Medication


Hi,

last year i had lasik surgey on both eyes however i needed an enchancment surgey.  I had my right eye done last month and it has been great and i am due to get my left eye done in about 2 months when my right has finaly settled, however i have a anxiety disorder which i have had for 11months and i have been having a hard time lately, i have a appointment with my docter next week about talking about me going on medication, my question is if i am prescibed any medication i.e anti depressants or benzodiazepines will this have any effect on me getting my right eye laserd.

Thanks

Dear Gram666,

I would speak with your doctor.  Being on an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety agent should not alter the ability to enhance your vision.  I would also look into nonmedication types of alternative therapies that some integrated medicine clinics offer such as yoga and meditation.
