Abstract:
The need of medical treatment after photorefractive surgery has been studied by reviewing the literature on the subject and comparing their conclusions with our clinical experience. Considering the pre-operative and immediate post-operative medical treatment, there is a large consensus since the aim is treatment of pain and prevention of superinfection. The post-operative considerations for medical treatment are more controversial and can be considered as to be useful or possibly useful.
