When it comes to strabismus surgery, many parents are afraid, worried that their children will not be able to see and cry after surgery with both eyes wrapped, worried about eye bleeding, etc. So, are the eyes covered after strabismus surgery or not? In fact, in our children’s hospital, most of the eyes are not covered after strabismus surgery for several reasons: First, strabismus surgery is a minimally invasive surgery with small wounds and trauma; and the surgery is on the surface of the eye, and the eyelashes, eyelids and tear secretion on the eye surface are the best barrier, so there is generally no need for additional covering. Second, many children are relatively young, and some children who have bilateral eye surgery at the same time, if both eyes are covered, they will be scared if they open their eyes suddenly after waking up from general anesthesia and cannot see anything, which is not conducive to their psychological recovery, which is a more important reason. Thirdly, the purpose of strabismus surgery is to restore the eye position, and the purpose of not covering the eyes after surgery is also to enable the child to see both eyes together at the first time after surgery, to promote the stability of the eye position, to observe the change of the child’s eye position, and to see the effect of surgery. Moreover, allowing the child to use both eyes to see at the same time as early as possible is conducive to the recovery and establishment of binocular vision function. For these reasons, the eyes are rarely covered after pediatric strabismus surgery, unless there are special circumstances, such as intraoperative muscle bleeding and hematoma easily.
