[Pain therapy in ophthalmology].
The adequate therapy of a disease always includes the analgesia. Ocular pain can be classified with respect to its location and a therapeutic recommendation of therapy can be given accordingly. The following four locations can be distinguished: 1. Pain at the surface, 2. Deep pain. 3. Retro- and parabulbar pain and 4. Special cases. In the management of pain it must be considered, that the first therapeutic aim is the curative treatment; only the second is the treatment of pain. The use of analgetics has to be evaluated permanently and must be adapted to the needs of the patient in order to minimize side-effects. The most important goal is the improvement of the patient's quality of life.
