@therealtiktokdoc: During general anesthesia, patients lose their natural reflexes, including blinking, which is vital for maintaining eye moisture and protection. … Without regular blinking, the eyes can dry out, leading to corneal abrasions or other eye injuries. … To prevent these complications, ointment is applied to the patient’s eyes. … #EyeProtectionInSurgery #AnesthesiaEyeCare #SurgicalEyeSafety #PreventingCornealAbrasions #HealthyEyesInOR #brownsanatomy
Mind-blowing how crucial eye care is during surgery! Who knew?

Fyi if you have dry eyes, you can buy over the counter ointment like this and put it in your eyes at night—really helps!! There’s Refresh PM and a few other brands!

I had to use this stuff nightly for a while because of a nerve issue that made me sleep with one eye open. (Literally lol) It feels weird and greasy, but it feels way better than sever dry eye.

I had a 7 hour surgery a couple years ago and my eyes ulcerated. My poor surgeon felt awful about it, but I don't hold it against him.

My surgeon forgot the tape during my tonsillectomy, and I woke up. Luckily I didn't feel anything, but it was a bit panic inducing...
