“…In total, 11 RCTs and seven observational studies related to PRK surgeries were included in the study. 9,21,25,33–55 The follow-up duration varied from 3 days to 6 months. The BCL wear time after surgery varied from 3 days to 1 week.…”

“…A similar study showed that the removal of BCL on the third or fifth postoperative day yielded no significant benefits in visual acuity. 47 The only study on infection observed less tear secretion in the patient eye using BCL after PRK was prone to bacterial contamination. 48…”

“…The removal of BCLs either on the third day after surgery or later did not affect the duration of the reduction in pain response. 46,47 Other studies observed that exchanging BCL every day after surgery 44 minimized early postoperative pain. In most of the studies after PRK, the postoperative medication regimen included the use of topical antibiotics, steroids, and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (see Table S9, Supplemental Digital Content, http://links.lww.com/ICL/A272).…”

“…The studies reported uniform administration of postoperative medication regimens such as antibiotics, steroids (betamethasone, loteprednol, prednisolone, and fluorometholone), NSAIDs (diclofenac, nepafenac, and ketorolac), and opioids (in few studies) were applied to both eyes including control or between comparisons of BCLs eyes after PRK. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] Among other outcomes, epiphora scores and comfort scores improved by day 3 after surgery on BCL application, whereas photophobia scores and foreign body sensation decreased by the third day after surgery. 35,37,42,54,55 Pain is known to subside when re-epithelialization of the cornea is completed.…”

This study systematically reviewed the performance of bandage contact lenses (BCL) such as lotrafilcon A, lotrafilcon B, senofilcon A, balafilcon A, and comfilcon A as postoperative treatment in different ocular surgeries. A systematic search of English and Chinese databases (from inception to December 2021) was conducted for studies reporting the efficacy of BCLs after ocular surgeries. Postoperative symptoms, corneal healing, and visual outcomes were studied. Overall, 38 studies were identified. Bandage contact lens was applied as a postoperative aid in corneal refractive, cataract, and vitrectomy surgeries. Most studies were on photorefractive keratectomy. Reduced postoperative symptoms were observed within 4 hr to 3 days, whereas re-epithelization of the cornea and healing was complete within 3 to 7 days after ocular surgeries except for vitrectomy. In a vitrectomy, greater comfort and improved corneal epithelium were observed on the seventh day after surgery. An improvement in dry eye symptoms was observed at 7 days with considerable benefits observed after 1 month of cataract surgery. These findings indicate that BCLs are effective for improving postoperative symptoms and facilitation of early visual rehabilitation with a wear time of 8 hr to 7 days depending on the type of ocular surgery.
