Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Data analyses and revision of the corneal re-epithelization in patients who underwent either PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), CXL (Corneal Cross-Linking), PTK (phototherapeutic keratectomy), or experienced a corneal abrasion. A novel ophthalmic solution containing cross-linked CMC (CX-CMC) and Silk Proteins (SP) has been made available on the market. Both molecules have been widely studied for their wound healing properties in the ophtalmic field. This new ophthalmic solution is the first on the market formulated with a CX-CMC and SP.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

CXC-SP

subjects who underwent either PRK, CXL, PTK or experienced a corneal abrasion treated with a standard therapy plus silk protein and CX-CMC-based eye drops.

CXC-SP

Intervention Type DEVICE

Standard therapy plus sterile Isotonic ophthalmic solution based on CX-CMC and silk protein, istilled six time a day until complete healing.

CTRL

subjects who underwent either PRK , CXL , PTK , or experienced a corneal abrasion. The subjects were treated with the standard therapy only.

CTRL

Intervention Type DEVICE

Standard therapy plus sterile ophtalmic isotonic solution for six time a day until complete healing.
