Hi All, My father has MG for a little over two years now (ocular followed by bulbar) and has been on 12.5 / 15 mg prednisone and 30 mg mestinon 4 times a day. unfortunately he had to discontinue imuran mid way due to side effects and hence could not wean way from prednisone. over this year he has developed cataract in both eyes - a known side effect from prolonged prednisone use.

Now for cataract surgery the opthamologist is struggling to find the right antibiotic eye drops that are safe for those with MG. I am able to find checklists of which medicines are not to be used, or used with caution, but not which ones are known to be better tolerated in this condition. Appreciate if anyone can share their experience or a relevant link on the medicines that can be used in relation to cataract surgery. Thanks.
