Abstract

Introduction: Traumatic corneal abrasion is one of the most common eye conditions presenting in the ophthalmic emergency rooms. Traditionally, traumatic corneal abrasions were managed by using pressure patching and antibiotic ointment or drops with or without mydriatic eye drops. However, there are no evidences that their use is of much benefit. Materials and methods: To conduct this review, a search strategy was developed that included all associated terminology and the potential synonyms, scientific search engines were targeted including PubMed, Cochrane Database and google scholar. Discussion: Most of the studies reviewed favored not to apply pressure patch for cases of traumatic corneal abrasion, most of the studies were conducted on adults, only two studies were performed on children, both also favored not to patch. Conclusion: Although there is no agreement on the best way of managing traumatic corneal abrasions in general and in children specifically. Author's recommendation in not to patch corneal abrasions in kids. Further studies upon pediatric population are still needed
