Trends in the etiology of infectious corneal ulcers at the F. I. Proctor Foundation.

abstract：PURPOSE:Ocular local anesthetics currently used in routine clinical practice for corneal anesthesia are short acting and their ability to delay corneal healing makes them unsuitable for long-term use. In this study, we examined the effect of the site 1 sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin (TTX) on the duration of cornea...
