Abstract

Application of Eye Surgical Drape to Decrease the Risk of a Corneal Abrasion

Stein R

A corneal abrasion is a risk when applying an eye surgical drape. A new technique is discussed that decreases the risk of corneal injury. A corneal abrasion at the time of intraocular surgery may reduce visibility for the surgeon resulting in an increased risk of an intraocular complication, greater patient postoperative discomfort, and a delayed visual outcome.
