When you are asked what medications you are taking, give a complete list, not just prescription drugs but also vitamins, herbs, and any other supplements. Vitamins in large doses can sometimes act like drugs, and herbal supplements can interact with many prescription medications. You should give the name of each medication, the dose, how many times a day you take it, what you take it for, and any other relevant information. If you take a large number of medications, bring a list containing all of this information to your appointment. That way, the doctor or the assistant can either photocopy it or transcribe it into your record, and completeness is ensured.
Many prescription drugs can affect your eyes. For example, the cortisone type of medication can cause cataracts or increase the pressure in your eyes, a large number of medications can cause dryness of the eyes, and others sometimes have a direct toxic effect on certain structures of the eye.
