Does Taking A Cortisone Shot Before A Cataract Surgery Cause Any Complications?
I had a cortisone shot in my knee today. I guess I wasn t thinking. I have cataract surgery tomorrow on my 2nd eye. First eye s surgery went great, but didn t have a cortisone shot. Now I am worried. Will this be a problem. Of course I will tell the doctor tomorrow.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No. First, the medicine tends to stay put mostly. Second, you can put a lot at the site you inject and the dilution that occurs when it is out of the local site means it can do very little.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
