No. However it might be related to an inhaled steroid and Tamsulosin, AKA Flomax. I recently acquired adult onset asthma and so was prescribed the inhaler. I'm kinda stumped that the right eye changed so fast while the left just has a very minor cataract. Anyway, the eye doc said that Tamsulosin is implicated in cataract development.

My eye doc told me the same thing. She said insurance would not cover the surgery.
I asked What if I paid it all out of pocket? It would be about $10,000. I told her I spend that much on deer hunting each year.
She said, 'but it's not medically necessary' I said 'neither is a boob lift or a tummy tuck. But people do those every day.'
After all that, she agreed to do it, but then I decided that I'm about a year away from medicare, and she says that by then, my eyes will be bad enough to be covered by medicare. So we plan to do the surgery next summer.
