摘要:

The effect on central corneal curvature of radial keratectomy was examined. Ten rabbits had six equally spaced radial wedges removed from the cornea of one eye. Preoperative and serial postoperative keratometry readings were performed to follow the change in refractive power. The follow-up period was 3 months. Radial keratectomy produced an initial steepening of the central cornea, but this effect had disappeared by the end of the follow-up period. It is suggested that this could well have been because the 10/0 prolene sutures pulled through the rabbit cornea, which does not possess a Bowman's membrane.

摘要:

Cellulose acetate butyrate contact lenses were fitted for extended wear on 28 rabbits 6 weeks after radial keratotomy. Fourteen rabbits received 0.03% flurbiprofen to one eye and vehicle solution to the contralateral control eye, while the other 14 received 1% prednisolone acetate to one eye and vehicle solution to the contralateral control eye four times each day in a double-blind fashion. The eyes were photographed and graded weekly with a standardized slit-lamp grading method. After 6 weeks, inhibition of corneal neovascularization was found with flurbiprofen (p= 0.001), while there was a trend toward inhibition of corneal neovascularization with prednisolone acetate (p= 0.076). We also found a significant vehicle effect, with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, the more viscous vehicle, suppressing corneal neovascularization more than polyvinyl alcohol (p= 0.004).
