COMMON ACNE DRUG CONTRAINDICATED BEFORE AND AFTER LASIK


According to this article in Ocular Surgery News:
"Isotretinoin, a topical medication commonly prescribed for acne, should be contraindicated for patients after LASIK surgery, a recent commentary in a dermatology publication suggests. Just as patients should stop using the acne medication at least 6 months before LASIK surgery, they also should not be given the medication for 6 months after surgery."
