Abstract
The use of dilute (1/10%) sodium hyaluronate (Healon) eyedrops has given definite subjective patient improvement in a variety of ocular surface disorders, especially keratitis sicca. No adverse effects of the sodium hyaluronate drops have been encountered in patients who have used the drops for as long as 2 yr. Masked trials and objective improvement of corneal staining patterns have also confirmed its efficacy.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
