Different antithrombotic drugs has different perioperative bleeding risks in a variety of ophthalmic surgeries, thus it is necessary to adjust antithrombotic strategies, manage antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants drugs to balance the risk of bleeding and thrombosis.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol,  2015, 39: 289-296)
