Figure 2.

Representative images of ocular surface damage in terms of corneal staining and density of goblet cells before and after the instillation of saline solution (control) and 0.2% benzalkonium chloride (BAC) for 5 days. After the instillation of 0.2% BAC, an increase is observed in corneal superficial punctate and a decrease in the density of goblet cells (brightest cells).
