Randomized Controlled Trial
A comprehensive clinical study about patching after strabismus surgery.
Patching of the operative eye is occasionally used in pediatric strabismus surgery. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological and physiologic effects of patching after operation by multifactorial methods. ⋯ Patching is not necessary for reducing postoperative pain or the risk of infection in children undergoing strabismus surgery.
