Healing Effect of Sodium-Sucrose-Octasulfate and EGF on Epithelial Corneal Abrasions in Rabbits

  • Chapter
Lacrimal Gland, Tear Film, and Dry Eye Syndromes 2

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 438))

Abstract

Our aim in this study was to investigate the possible healing effect of sodium-sucrose-octasulfate (SOS) on epithelial corneal abrasions, and to evaluate any increase in healing rate when combining epidermal growth factor (EGF) with SOS.
