Zur Notwendigkeit eines Augenverbandes nach Kataraktoperation in Tropfanästhesie

Abstract

After cataract surgery in topical anesthesia only mild symptoms were noted. There were no significant differences between the groups in the objective clinical findings and the subjective feeling. These results indicate that after cataract surgery eye patching could be unnecessary.

Patient satisfaction and postoperative pain with different postoperative therapy regimens after standardized cataract surgery: a randomized intraindividual comparison

“…Many attempts have been made to optimize postoperative therapy [2][3][4][5][6][7]. All of them had a common goal-to minimize postoperative pain, and maximize patient satisfaction.…”

“…All of them had a common goal-to minimize postoperative pain, and maximize patient satisfaction. As such, the covering of the eye after cataract surgery became the gold standard postoperative therapy, and the following therapy variants were used as coverings: a cotton eye patch/ pad, a clear perforated plastic shield, or an eye pad in combination with a clear perforated plastic shield [2][3][4][5][6][7]. These therapy variants were intended to ensure protection against glare, infections and mechanical influences (e.g., rubbing, trauma).…”

“…Furthermore, an eye patch can constrain lid closure, delay postoperative healing, increase discomfort, and is inapplicable for patients with monocular vision [5,6]. In contrast to patching, a new method termed ''instant vision'' (IV) has been deemed a possible alternative to patching, one which facilitates immediately improved vision after surgery, and consequently immediately improved orientation.…”

Commentary: All India Ophthalmological Society members' survey: Practice pattern of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injection

“…Many cataract surgeons have given up routine patching after cataract surgery. [ 8 ] Considering the tiny 30-gauge puncture involved in intravitreal injection, routine patching is probably unnecessary.…”
