Isatis root eyedrops and Hailun eyedrops (levofloxacin eyedrops), six times each day, were administered in test and control groups respectively. All patients have been observed for 7 days. The clinical effectiveness and reaction to drug after administration were assessed as the observation indexes.
Results:
The efficacy rates in test and control group were 90% and 93%, repectively, the difference between the two groups had no statistic significance (P > 0.05). There have been two cases with side effects among the test and control groups respectively.
