Ophthalmica eye drops in the prevention of septic complications during various operations on the eyeball in pets

The purpose of the study: clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of Ophthalmica eye drops in the prevention of infectious complications during various operations on the eyeball in dogs and cats. Materials and methods: Two groups of pets were formed, which underwent various ophthalmic operations: the experimental (n=17) and the control (n=18). The pets of the experimental group were treated with Ophthalmica eye drops for preventive purposes 3 times a day one day before surgery and in the postoperative period for up to 14 days (depending on the complexity of surgery and the severity of the initial eye). The pets of the control group were instilled with only a 5% aqueous solution of povidone-iodine. Results: The pets of the experimental group did not have any post-operative septic complications. There were no inflammatory phenomena in the form of purulent excretions from the conjunctival cavity. No eye was observed in any animal with edema, cornea clouding, or excesses in the front chamber. While the pets in the control group had oily complications, corneal edema, transplant disease. Conclusions: The use of Ophthalmica eye drops is a highly effective method of preventing infectious complications during various operations on the eyeball in dogs and cats.
