Abstract
Antithrombotic treatment with oral anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents can increase the risk for perioperative bleeding. In contrast to other surgical fields, the optimal perioperative management in ophthalmic surgery has not yet been exactly defined and, thus, is not standardized. In this contribution, we provide an overview of currently available oral anticoagulants and discuss potential strategies for the management of these agents in different ophthalmic surgical procedures.Entities:
