“…Older reports in human ophthalmic literature suggest that topically applied ointment medications can delay epithelialization of the cornea . One report, however, showed no significant delay in corneal wound healing after application of ointments .…”
Postdebridement antibiotic type or use of sodium chloride ointment had minor effects on healing rates. Bandage contact lens use and retention significantly improves healing times.
