Purpose:
The objective of the study was, to determine whether the new medicine developed in the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Medical University of Gdańsk in the form of gel containing 5% of provitamin B5, was a good agent for applying into the contact surface of the Goldmann triple-mirror, while examining the retina.
Material And Methods:
42 people were subject in the observation. 84 eyes, which had not been operated yet, were tested. One eye was examined by using the gel with provitamin B5/proper name D--panthenol/, the other eye by applying 3% methylcellulose. Congestion of conjunctiva, oedema and defects of cornea epithelium, and substance transparency as well as surface adherence were indicated.
Results:
One obtained the statistical significance proving the lesser congestion effect, while applying D--panthenol. Better adherence of the preparation to the cornea surface and to the triple-mirror was noticed, which considerably improved the procedure of the very examination. D--panthenol protected and regenerated cornea epithelium.
Conclusion:
The gel containing provitamin B5 is a safe and convenient agent for application during the examination with a triple-mirror.
