Fig. 6. Assessment of efficacy of subconjunctival gel treatment by representing the parameters as clinical scores.

Fig. 6

A) Central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements obtained by optical coherence tomography. All groups had an initial increase in CCT due to the alkali burn, however the D-Dex group gel group (the green line) had the best outcome with the lowest CCT. B) Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements demonstrate a relatively stable IOP in the D-Dex gel group, whereas the free-Dex gel group and the positive controls have a gradual increase in IOP over the study period. C) Qualitative estimated area of neovascularization: neovascularization was first observed at post-operative day 3, and the least amount of corneal neovascularization was observed in the D-Dex gel group. D) Corneal opacity scores: The median opacity score of the D-Dex gel group at post-operative day 14 is zero.
