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.
