Autologous serum eye drops for treating persistent corneal epithelial defect after vitreoretinal surgery.

چکیده
To the Editor: In the article by Oskouee et al, the authors reported the use of bandage contact lenses and topical indomethacin to treat persistent corneal epithelial defects (PED) after vitreoretinal surgery. They suggested that monocular patients, patients who require rapid visual rehabilitation, and those who have discomfort when wearing patches would benefit greatly from treatment with a bandage contact lens. There are some points that I would like to add in this regard.
