    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Science

    Background:

    • The eye comprises three layers: retina, uveal tract, and sclera, which connects to the cornea.
    • Ophthalmic surgery necessitates pharmacologic agents for targeted effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail the pharmacological agents used in eye surgery.
    • To outline the risks associated with cataract surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of ophthalmic surgical drug classes.
    • Identification of common cataract surgery complications.

    Main Results:

    • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) mitigate irritation and sustain mydriasis.
    • Viscoelastic agents shield endothelial cells.
    • Potential surgical risks include hyphema, posterior capsule rupture, and retinal damage.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific drugs are crucial for successful ophthalmic procedures.
    • Awareness of potential complications is vital for patient safety in cataract surgery.
