LOW WHITE BLOOD COUNT FROM KEVZARA

So I’m thinking if the benefit of kevzara stays in my system for two months I should be ok to be without an injection for 6 weeks to be on the safe side with the surgeries. Surgeries need to be done two weeks apart because new prescription glasses will need to be made.
I’ll see what the rheumatologist says Monday.
Thanks!

Not all of Kevzara stays in your system for 2 months. About half of it is gone in 2 weeks.
I don't know anything about cataract surgery while taking Kevzara. I would do what you are doing by talking to your rheumatologist and trying to do what the eye surgeon wants.
I had cataract surgery done on both eyes about 30 years ago. I was only 40 years old at the time. My cataracts progressed rapidly and early because of Prednisone. I was devastated about having cataracts when I was so young. My left eye progressed faster than my right eye so my cataract surgeries were a year apart.
I didn't need glasses after my cataract surgeries. I still only use reading glasses. It is amazing to me that the artificial lenses I have are the ones that were implanted 30 years ago.
