Floppy iris syndrome, TERAZOSIN

I am concerned that readers are allowed to continue to believe that terazosin is not associated with floppy iris syndrome. R. Venkatesh in Indian J.Ophthalmol. 55(5) Sep-Oct 2007 reported the association. Personally, much earlier, in 1999, while on long-term terazosin, I suffered iris disruption, failed lens replacement, and residual uveitis, consequences of 'simple' cataract surgery. Upon 2000 miles of travel to a major Boston consultant, an association was not discerned. Please refresh the fountain of knowledge.
