PURPOSE: To explore the effects of the prevention and control of perioperative incision infection on the quality of day cataract surgery. METHODS: The nursing care and efficacy of 5087 patients undergoing day cataract surgery between October 2012 and October 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. The disinfection and isolation guidance was established for perioperative prevention and control of infection, topical administration of ocular agents, reexamination and healthcare instruction, and alternative measures were taken. RESULTS: All 5087 patients successfully underwent day surgery of phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation. All cases recovered without incision infection. CONCLUSION: Preoperative preparation, and intraoperative and postoperative prevention and control of infection serve as vital measures for effectively avoiding the incidence of incision infection in patients undergoing day cataract surgery.
