Be aware that alpha-blockers, such as Flomax (Tamsulosin), Terazosin (Hytrin), & Alfuzosin (Uroxatral) have been shown to increase the risk of IFIS during cataract surgery. They relax the smooth muscles of the bladder neck, and also relax the iris dilator, which can make the conventional dilator drops used in cataract surgery ineffective.
It didn't cause any problems in my cataract surgeries....but it is a risk.
