A member asked:

Can people with sjogrens syndrome and severe dry eye syndrome have lasix (furosemide) eye surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Better not: Lasik surgery tends to make eyes more dry. In the setting of sjogren's syndrome, this could potentially be devastating. Patients who have severe dry eyes can have pain, fluctuating and even poor vision. And this will get worse with age. If you want surgery, you might consider refractive lens exchange, as this will be less drying to the eye and may also get rid of the need for bifocals.
