Abstract:
Many opthalmologists prefer to treat the eyes operated on with drops containing corticosteroids and antibiotics for a few days of a few weeks after strabismus surgery. But no controlled studies are available to support the rationale for such therapy. Therefore, we conducted a prespective double-blind masked trial to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the drops containing antibiotics and steroid on 40 patients. There are no singnificant difference between the drug and the placebo groups.
