[Action of gentamycin against a background of magnetotherapy of the anterior chamber in a traumatic infected erosion of the cornea].

Abstract

Fifteen patients with surface infections of the cornea due to a foreign body in one eye were treated with magnetophoresis and gentamicin before and after removal of the foreign bodies. The lower eyelid was turned back and a cotton tampon impregnated with 1 ml of a 0.3 per cent aqueous solution of gentamicin was applied. After that the tube of the alternating magneto was placed before the eyelids. The magnetic field (50 oersted, 50 Hz) was applied for 9 minutes. Such a treatment promoted suppression of the eye inflammatory reaction and accelerated corneal epithelization.
