Has anyone here ever had laser eye surgery while on Entyvio? I'm getting the procedure done in early July. Haven't discussed things with my Doctor yet, but was hoping to hear from people who might have already gone through it. Not sure if it'll bother the UC in some way or not.

It wouldn't affect your UC, but you need to ask the eye specialist who is doing the surgery about being on entyvio and its effect on your surgery as well as you being on turmeric and grapeseed extract...both would be in the category of blood thinners (which you might have to be off of them before the surgery).
