Whether or not cataract surgery can be performed while taking methylprednisolone is a matter of specific etiology.
Patients who have a systemic underlying disease will need to take hormonal medications, such as methylprednisolone. During the treatment period, as long as the underlying disease is stable and does not affect the safety of cataract surgery, it is possible to arrange surgical treatment.
However, when the patient has an underlying disease with ocular inflammation and requires long-term treatment with methylprednisolone, such as uveitis, cataract surgery can easily lead to worsening of the uveitis, affecting the effect of cataract surgery, and should not be performed on the basis of the medication at this time.
Patients who are currently taking Methylprednisolone and want to have cataract surgery should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for examination, and the doctor should fully evaluate the condition before making a decision.
