- Abstract
Eye protection during general anesthesia is crucial in neurosurgery due to the various head positions used. Methods such as manual closure of the eyelids, taping, ointments, goggles, contact lenses, and corneal shells are recommended, but there are still risks of eyelid bruising, edema, corneal abrasion, and blindness. Tegaderm, a hypoallergenic adhesive, is commonly used to cover the eyes, but it can cause mild eyelid erythema. Other medical adhesives have also been found to cause eyelid trauma, and patients with a history of allergies or irritant dermatitis should undergo patch testing. Further research is needed to find the best option for eye protection during general anesthesia.
