the coagulation rang today about warfarin so i checked about still taking it , they said that a cataract op is classed as a bloodless op therefore they will treat as such !!

I have never had part of my blood call me before.

Phil they call me because i have my INR done at my gp s and i send my record book with it
they send it back by post but if i need to change the dose the same day as test results they ring
which is good thing as you get a chance to ask questions about the result if needed
i hope that makes sense

Maybe they're doing it differently than with the relative who had bleeding just from being on aspirin therapy. That surgery was at least 10 years ago-- maybe it's a whole different thing now.

For those who like to see research, this is a good study by JHU about warfarin and cataract surgery. It concludes what you've been told, Dee-- no problem with staying on warfarin for the surgery. It also makes a point of saying how extremely safe cataract surgery is, which I thought might be comforting for you to hear!
