Day case strabismus surgery without post-operative ocular medication. A masked randomised study
1West Middlesex Ealing Hospital.
Abstract:
A masked, randomised study was designed to test the hypothesis that day case strabismus surgery and the absence of post-operative topical medication is a plan of management that does not compare unfavourably with discharge from hospital on the day after surgery with topical antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapy for 14 days. The results indicate that patients who have day case surgery do not have more complications than overnight stay patients and that their inflammation and discomfort settle just as quickly without topical therapy. Medical, social and financial benefits of day case surgery are noted.
