abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the efficacy and safety of isatis root eyedrops on the acute bacterial conjunctivitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  A randomized, double-blind and parallel study was conducted on 200 cases. Isatis root eyedrops and Hailun eyedrops (levofloxacin eyedrops), six times each day, were administered in test and control groups respectively. All patients have been observed for 7 days. The clinical effectiveness and reaction to drug after administration were assessed as the observation indexes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The efficacy rates in test and control group were 90% and 93%, repectively, the difference between the two groups had no statistic significance (P > 0.05). There have been two cases with side effects among the test and control groups respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Isatis root eyedrops have an excellent efficacy and safety on the acute bacterial conjunctivitis.
