| description | Corneal abrasions are a common challenge encountered during
general anaesthesia following non-ocular surgeries, carrying
significant risks such as microbial keratitis and permanent scarring
[1]. However, the safeguarding of the cornea lacks a standardised
approach, leaving clinicians to rely on methods with varying degrees
of efficacy and potential side effects. Notably, tape application alone
has demonstrated comparable or superior protective benefits with
fewer associated drawbacks. This is in contrast to the use of petroleum
gel, which poses a risk of flammability, particularly concerning in
surgeries involving electrocautery or open oxygen sources near the
facial region. As an alternative, the preference leans towards using
preservative-free eye ointments to mitigate the potential for corneal
epithelial sloughing and conjunctival hyperaemia |
