摘要
We describe the use of a Steri-Strip to exclude lashes in cataract surgery cases in which the lashes impinge on the operative field. The technique has been used in 25 cases and achieved uniformly successful lash exclusion. In 6 cases, the strip became partially dislodged and required repositioning intraoperatively, after which it achieved complete lash exclusion. No complications have been observed.
