Minoxidil after prk lasik surgery

2018-11-22 13:38:44
I have been using minoxidil for 5 months. I got prk lasik done for my eyes and its 10 days. My ophthalmologist recommended me to stop minox for 2 months where as my dermatologist says I can use until it isn't exposed to eye. Please provide me solution. Should I stop using minox till I recover from prk. If so how long? Awaiting answers

It is irritant to eyes .if by chance with sweat or by hand it got touched to eyes and you rub your eyes inadvertently  then nobody can imagine what losses you  can face. So be careful and co operative.
