A clinical study of contrast sensitivity and visual acuity in patients following retinal photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy

Abstract

Animal bites are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe and when involving the orofacial region, they commonly present to dental surgeons. Literature on their initial management provides a plethora of conflicting views and results and it is necessary to be up to date with the latest modalities of management of such facial injuries to give best functional and surgical outcomes to the patients. Antibiotics and anti-tetanus and anti-rabies vaccinations and immunoglobulins should be judiciously administered along with appropriate wound management.
