When do we debride the No need to pull out the big guns. A cheap, broad spectrum suffices. epithelium? Loose tags of devitalized epithelium Consider ointment in small abrasions (<1-2mm) when BCL not desired. will not “tack” back down. Debride when loose tissue will impede healing. 4. When do we use bandage contact lenses? Depends on patient and pain level, but they can be of huge benefit! Can be done with cotton swab or Weck Cell. 2. When do we choose to use Think again: Questionable reliability of patient follow up. antibiotics? Contact with vegetative matter. Best to err on the side of caution.
