Abstract

This survey of pediatric ophthalmic surgeons on analgesia for postoperative adult strabismus patients indicates that 65% prescribed acetaminophen and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and 12% to 16% prescribed opioids. Most surgeons reported reasonable control of pain regardless of analgesia. Acetaminophen and/or NSAIDs may adequately control pain, although certain circumstances may warrant opioid prescriptions. .
