Retrospective analysis of the surgical activity in children and adult ophthalmological departments in Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2 was conducted on the basis of the treatment outcomes of 1,928 children and 11,922 adults for the period from 01.01.2018 to 25.12.2018. Major part of surgeries (51%) in a pediatric practice was directed at strabismus, among adult patients (56%) – aimed at cataract. Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis allowed avoiding inflammatory complications completely.
