Treatment of chemical burns of the eye with corvasymton.
نویسنده
چکیده
THE results of the experimental investigation carried out in the laboratory of the Netherlands Ophthalmic Hospital in Utrecht to test my first clinical findings on the favourable action of " Corvasymton "t in a chemical burn of the eye have already been recorded (Fischer, Hodgson, and Wagenaar, 1950). In view of the favourable result 1 decided to use this drug once again when a patient with a chemical burn should come to me for treatment. Shortly afterwards I had the opportunity of administering Corvasymton in an extremely severe case of calcium oxide corrosion, which I believed at first to stand no chance of recovery.
