Each of the eyes in each group of patients randomized to receive one method of eye care. Simple eye ointment was administered every 6 hours and tapes were replaced every 6 hours, too. The eyes were examined daily for ocular surface disorders, by an intensivist and with a portable slit lamp, for seven days. The data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical test (Chi-square, Fisher exact, ANOVA and T-test) with SPSS Ver 20.
Results: Of the 20 eyes that had a positive fluorescein test, three (3.6%) were in the simple eye ointment group and seventeen (20.2%) were in the eyelid taping group. This difference was statistically significant (χ2=12.8, P=0.000).
