Flomax increases the risk of 'floppy iris syndrome". Eye surgeons don't stop the flomax as has a lasting effect. Also if the person tells the surgeon then special drops are used to prevent floppy iris syndrome.

What "special" eye drops. I had cataract surgery right eye, and I am on Flomax.

I was on Prolensa and Prednisolone eye drops.

The drops are used at the time of surgery, not after surgery
