Wound Classification for Eye Procedures
permalink
It is my understanding from the criteria in evaluating surgical wound classification that all eye surgical procedures are considered Clean.
Another nurse told me that Entropion and Ectropion repair procedures are clean/contaminated. I disagree. I posed the question to ASORN (American Society of Ophthalmic nurses) but have yet to receive a reply. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for any feedback.

I have always heard of them as clean, unless there is debris or infection in the eye...
