Abstract：Objective To determine the clinical efficacy and safety of extracting conjunctial cyst under slit lamp microscope in outpatient department.Methods This retrospective study was conducted from March 2018 to March 2020,collected medical records of 56 cases(57 eyes)with conjunctival cysts from the outpatient department of Zhongshan Oph-thalmic Center,Sun Yat-sen University.The procedure involved pre-operative eye cleaning,surface anesthesia with promecaine,cyst aspiration performed by a senior ophthalmic specialist nurse under the slit lamp using negative pressure,and complete aspiration of the cyst membrane.Post-operation,antibiotic eye ointment was applied.Follow-up assess-ments included the ocular surface disease index(OSDI),recurrence,complications,and patient experiences.Results The success rate of conjunctival cyst extraction under a slit-lamp microscope in 56 cases was 100％,with no complica-tions observed.The OSDI score significantly decreased 28 days post-operation(P＜0.001).Patients reported positive medical experiences,and no recurrence was noted at 1 month,6 months,and 2 years of follow-up.Conclusion Surgi-cal extraction of conjunctival cysts under a slit-lamp microscope proves to be a convenient,rapid,and minimally trau-matic procedure with favorable wound healing.It is deemed safe,feasible,effective,and offers patients a positive medical experience,warranting clinical promotion.
