Laser eye surgery
I'm getting SMILE laser eye surgery on Monday and I'm currently on Zocef, chymoral AP and flagyl 400mg for another condition.
Would this interfere with the surgery? Should I finish the course of all these medicines and then go ahead with the surgery or it won't be an issue to get the surgery while on these medicines?
Thank you.

I would advise to wait atleast 2 weeks after the "other condition" is fully resolved before getting any refractive or elective surgery

When there is infection, it is better to wait till the infection subsides.Later you can undergo Smile.However, pl consult ophthalmologist with details of the infection for further evaluation and treatment.
