FWIW I haven't seen a post here in days. Perhaps your original didn't make it through to all servers? I wish I had seen it earlier, I would have asked my opthamologist today. Sorry I can't help you, I'm sure others can though. Leigh -- Consequences, shmonsequences, as long as I'm rich. - D. Duck For the past few weeks there has been an increase in spams finding their way into the group; I suspect they might discourage posters. The spam is so inappropriate -- people can be such jerks. Makes me wonder if groups like ours can survive without moderators with the power to erase the junk. > >GOOD Grief have we lost our group here ????

Too hard to say...most of us stop Xalatan around the time of surgery because of a report of possible swelling in the retina with the use of it. Other drops are usually continued. When I stop Xalatan, I usually substitute something else. Travatan and Lumigan are in the same family as Xalatan, so it would make sense to stop them too. BUT, this is really dependent on a patient's glaucoma and the extent of nerve damage and IOP elevation...bottom line...ask your doc. --Rick Cohn, MD This post above my QUESTION POST has nothing to do with me -- Sorry I forgot to take the sig off > Sorry I forgot to take the sig off If it happens again - the Duck gets it !!! well olefart fits LOL-- |
