Question: Name some oral medications that we check in ophthalmology?
Answer: Fortunately, there are few oral medications that affect us in ophthalmology. These include:
- Beta-blockers: it’s nice to know if a patient is on a beta-blocker before we start a beta-blocker in the eye
- Terazosin: The BPH medications cause floppy-iris syndrome and makes cataract surgery difficult

You may also want to check if the patient is on plaquenil or hydroxychloroquine, as these can cause retinopathy or corneal deposits.
