    Corneal abrasions are common after anesthesia, causing pain and potential infection. Prompt treatment with antibiotic ointment and eye patching is crucial for healing and preventing complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Corneal abrasion is a frequent ocular complication following general anesthesia and recovery.
    • It can lead to significant pain, uveal tract inflammation, and serious infections if contaminated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the commonality and risks associated with corneal abrasions during anesthesia.
    • To outline appropriate management strategies and emphasize avoidance of certain treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common causes of corneal abrasion during anesthesia, such as mask friction.
    • Description of standard treatment protocols including antibiotic ointment, eye patching, and cycloplegic/mydriatic solutions.

    Main Results:

    • Corneal abrasions can affect one or both eyes.

  • Prompt treatment is essential to prevent complications like iridocyclitis and keratitis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Effective management involves antibiotic ointment, eye patching, and cycloplegic/mydriatic drops.
    • Topical anesthetics should be avoided due to delayed healing and risk of keratitis.
