Active Comparator
Bandage contact lens group
Pressure patching group
subject received antibiotic eye drops (combination of Polymyxin B, neomycin and gramicidin, q.i.d), and cycloplegic eye drops (tropicamide 0,5 %, q.d) and bandage contact lens. Bandage contact lenses maintained for 24 hours. Antibiotic eye drops were instilled without removing the contact lenses
Subject received antibiotic eye drops (combination of Polymyxin B, neomycin and gramicidin, q.i.d), and cycloplegic eye drops (tropicamide 0,5 %, q.d) and pressure patching. Pressure patching maintained for 24 hours and only opened for drug application. Subject and their families were educated on how to perform a good pressure patching
