Abstract
Topical 0.5% indomethacin, 0.01% flurbiprofen, 1% prednisolone acetate, 0.1% dexamethasone or 0.1% fluorometholone pretreatment and daily instillation did not affect the course of re-epithelialization after partial corneal epithelial denudation in rabbits. Topical 1% prednisolone acetate, 0.1% dexamethasone and 0.1% fluorometholone.sbd.but not 0.5% indomethacin and 0.01% flurbiprofen.sbd.significantly retarded re-epithelialization after complete corneal denudation.
