Abstract

We used porcine collagen shields combined with tobramycin, gentamicin, pilocarpine, dexamethasone, and flurbiprofen sodium in 67 cases of penetrating keratoplasty and 55 cases of cataract extraction. No adverse effects were noted from the combined use of the shields with the drug. The devices proved beneficial for protection, lubrication, enhancement of epithelialization, and drug delivery.
