Good Evening. My name is Nicole an I suffer with Uveitis. However, I am in a controlled flare at the moment. Taking eyedrops long term. Can I still have Rhinoplasty? Will the trauma cause permanent damage to my eyes? What steps do I need to factor in? Has any surgeon had by patients on eye drops with Uveitis? My eye doctor doesn't seem to think this will be a problem. But I would like advice from anyone in my situation or an experienced nose surgeon. Many thanks in advance.
