Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of non-ophthalmic physicians-in-training at the Philippine General Hospital regarding exposure keratopathy.
- Out of 77 respondents, a significant majority recognized exposure keratopathy, but there was a lack of established eye care protocols for at-risk patients, leading to inconsistencies in referrals to ophthalmology.
- Although many participants reported using preventive measures like eyelid taping and lubricants, most did not refer patients with incomplete eyelid closure due to the absence of clear guidelines.
