The Role Of Ialuvit Eye Drops In Management Of Corneal Haze Following Prk Surgery And Cases Of Adenoviral Keratitis

To report the new role found for Ialuvit(0.05% Cyanocobalamin B, 0.05% taurine,0.5% sodium hyaluronate)eye drops in management of corneal haze in post PRK patients and cases with adenoviral keratitis.

The management of corneal haze has always been a challenge,and various medications were used to decrease it to avoid the need to look for surgical alternatives.

15  eyes of 15 patients  with corneal haze ,8 following recent PRK surgery,

and 7 with  active adenoviral keratitis were properly selected.

All cases had significant central sub-epithelial corneal haze extending on a range of 3-5 mm on the corneal surface.

All patients were given a Ialuvit 4 times daily continuous for 2 weeks besides their regular treatment.

Significant improvement of the haze  in all the cases was noticed and  seen by slit lamp examination, and improve in visual acuity as well.

Ialuvit  eye drops has been reported to improve the surgical recovery following epi-off crosslinking, but its role in recovery of haze has not been documented yet.This short study hopes to spot the light on this new role ,and open the chance for a  multicentered study to proof this role further.
