Do I have to stop my aspirin or warfarin before the operation date?
Yes, please do stop these. The aspirin should be stopped up to two weeks before your operation date. Warfarin is stopped two days before the operation date, in order to check the globe and socket, and the INR checked on the day of surgery. Aspirin is stipped two weeks before the operation to reduce per-operative swelling. Please check that your physician agrees it is safe to stop warfarin.
