Question

Which of the following is not a special consideration for ophthalmic surgery?

A) The operating microscope is never used during ophthalmic procedures
B) Eye sutures must be handled very carefully, as little as possible
C) All materials such as sponges and drapes must be lint free
D) Ophthalmic sponges are precut, compressed cellulose on sticks

Answer 1

A) The operating microscope is never used during ophthalmic procedures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the question is A) The operating microscope is never used during ophthalmic procedures.

Ophthalmic surgery, which involves surgeries performed on the eyes, requires various special considerations. Some of these considerations include the use of an operating microscope for better visualization, careful handling of eye sutures, the use of lint-free materials such as sponges and drapes, and the use of precut, compressed cellulose ophthalmic sponges on sticks. However, the operating microscope is a crucial tool used during ophthalmic procedures for magnification and illumination, so it is not a 'special consideration' in the context of this question.
