title: [Effect of drugs inhibiting prostaglandin activity on the appearance of leukocytes in the tears after experimental injury to the corneal epithelium].
abstract: The investigations were carried out on 3 groups of rabbits in which the corneal epithelium was removed and into the conjunctival sac were instilled drugs inhibiting the activity of prostaglandins such as indomethacin solution or a 0.5 p.c. solution of ibuprofen. It was demonstrated that these drugs lead in the period of the first 8 hours to reduction of the number of leucocytes in tears from 2 to 20 times in comparison with the control group. The presented observation show that prostaglandin inhibitors may be a successful mean leading to decrease of number of leucocytes in tears after corneal injury.
