title: [Gel with provitamin B5 applied during tests with the Goldmann triple-mirror].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of the study was, to determine whether the new medicine developed in the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Medical University of Gdańsk in the form of gel containing 5% of provitamin B5, was a good agent for applying into the contact surface of the Goldmann triple-mirror, while examining the retina.
  
  
  METHODS
  42 people were subject in the observation. 84 eyes, which had not been operated yet, were tested. One eye was examined by using the gel with provitamin B5/proper name D--panthenol/, the other eye by applying 3% methylcellulose. Congestion of conjunctiva, oedema and defects of cornea epithelium, and substance transparency as well as surface adherence were indicated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  One obtained the statistical significance proving the lesser congestion effect, while applying D--panthenol. Better adherence of the preparation to the cornea surface and to the triple-mirror was noticed, which considerably improved the procedure of the very examination. D--panthenol protected and regenerated cornea epithelium.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The gel containing provitamin B5 is a safe and convenient agent for application during the examination with a triple-mirror.
