[Local indomethacin and early postcontusive ocular reaction in rabbits]

The local administration of a solution of indomethacin into the conjunctival fornix of the rabbit eye before anterior segment contusion has a marked inhibition on early post-contusion hypertonia. This result strongly suggests that local indomethacin could be of value in the treatment of accidental trauma to the eye as well as in the prevention of reactions following surgical trauma.
