  • Title: [The use of eye films with apilac in treating corneal burns].
    Author: Prokof'eva GL, Mozherenkov VP, Khegaĭ PV.
    Journal: Oftalmol Zh; 1990; (6):334-5. PubMed ID: 2100774.
    Abstract:
    Clinical trial of eye films with apilac used in complex treatment of 47 patients with thermic and chemical corneal burns has shown acceleration of corneal epithelialization in 37 (78.7%) patients as compared with the control group. Rise of visual acuity from 0.1-0.4 to 0.5-0.9 was recorded in patients with burns of a moderate degree and from 0.005-0.02 to 0.03-0.07--with severe eye burns. Better results after apilac therapy were observed when the films were used in combination with low-intensity helium-neon laser radiation of the cornea.
