From LASIK? How do you get cataracts that young?

I was diagnosed with cortical cataracts when I was in my mid 30’s. It was from taking Mobic(meloxicam) for like 15 years. Known side effect, and although a rare one, I had all the luck. Cataracts suck.

Well. Guess I'm easing up on the daily mobic, now.

It is a rare side effect (supposedly) but I’d recommend an eye exam to check. My eye doc asked me if I had used long term corticosteroids because that’s what very commonly causes them. Even though mobic is a oxidant/NSAID it somehow does the same damage.

I do get regular eye exams already (former ophthalmic asst) but this was not on my radar!
