In vitro amoebicidal activity of propamidine and pentamidine isethionate against Acanthamoeba species and toxicity to corneal tissues.

abstract：PURPOSE:Peters anomaly is the most common cause of congenital corneal opacities. Although conservative management is often ineffective except in mild cases, surgical intervention in the form of penetrating keratoplasty is fraught with unpredictability and often has unacceptable postoperative outcomes. As such, there is...
