A Retrospective Review of Corneal Abrasions after Oncologic Surgery in a Tertiary Cancer Center
Journal Title: International Journal of Anesthetics and Anesthesiology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Corneal abrasions are the single most common ocular injury in the perioperative period. The exact etiology of perioperative corneal abrasions is usually unclear, and several risk factors have been described. The aim of our study was to determine the incidence of known and hypothetical risk factors for corneal abrasion in a cohort of cancer patients who had developed corneal abrasion after oncologic surgery. Our review showed a high incidence of risk factors which were similar to that reported for other heterogeneous surgical populations. Contrary to our expectations, there was a low incidence of prior chemotherapy in our study cohort.
