Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my niece had extensive ortho repair surgery on her arm yesterday. she is on a lot of pain meds, and today she is seeing a purple hue to everything in one of her eyes. no headaches etc. this eye could possibly be more dialated than the other but not sure. IS this a possible side effect of meds?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Painkiller drugs are not causing any ocular side effects. So I don't think her eye problem is due to painkiller drugs. Better to consult ophthalmologist and get done clinical examination of eyes.
She might also need retinal examination.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
