[Experimental development of a method of enzyme therapy in eye burns]

The proposed method of enzyme therapy of eye burns consists in instillations of a proteolytic drug for the first two days after burn and instillations of an antiproteolytic agent for the next 12 days. Experimental trials of the method in a rabbit with an alkaline burn of the cornea, including assessment of clinical manifestations of disease and investigation of the proteinase-inhibitor balance in the lacrimal fluid demonstrated a high efficacy of the new treatment.
