    @annlaba I believe @Taita has had eye surgery. I am sure if you contacted her she would let you know if she was on a parp inhibitor when she had it done.
    Hope that helps.

    @annlaba I just saw the comment from @strongwoman. I was on Taxol and Avastin when I had my cataract surgery. No issues. Your doctor can advise on the Parp. Apparently it is commonly done on active cancer patients because the steroids cause the cataract issues. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend.
