sulfur mustard, a bifunctional alkylating agent, causes severe eye injury. the injury is a result of late inflammation, which is mediated by prostaglandins. theoretically, inhibition of prostaglandins by reagents such as indomethacine could result in alleviation of clinical adverse effects. in this study, the protective effect of topically applied indomethacine against sulfur mustard toxicity w...

purpose: to report the confocal microscopic features of endothelial vacuolation in donated corneas and to confirm the observed changes by transmission electron microscopy. methods: confocal and transmission electron microscopy were performed on donated corneas with endothelial vacuole formation on slitlamp biomicroscopy. the ultrastructural findings were also compared with those of a normal-loo...
