Özet
Background In acute alkali corneal burns, the routine treatment protocol includes suppressing inflammation using corticosteroids. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the role of insulin in wound healing research due to its remarkable positive effects. Aims The present study aimed to compare the healing effects of dexamethasone -the conventional approach- and NPH-insulin on alkali corneal burns. Methods An alkali corneal burn was created using Ca (OH)2 in all subjects. One group (n=6) was treated with an ophthalmic ointment containing dexamethasone (group I), and another group (n=6) was treated with an insulin ointment (group II). The control group (n=6) received no treatment (group III). Clinical changes in the corneal burn areas were monitored on days 3, 7, 14, and 21. The animals were euthanized on day 21. The excised corneas were examined for histopathological …
