The Research of the Effect of Eye Drops Containing Quercetin for Regeneration of the Cornea in the Experiment

Kliuiev GO and Kolomiichuk SG

In the research on 7 rabbits was studied the influence of the eye drops on the cornea that contain bioflavonoidsquercetin. Corneal damage was induced by application of filter paper disc, impregnated with 20% solution of ethyl alcohol with increasing time on 60 s. In the control eye were dripped saline, in the studied eye–drops containing quercetin. The severity of corneal edema was evaluated by examination of corneal thickness, by using Pachymeter Tomey SP-100. The study was performed before effect and on 1st, 3rd and 7th days after effect. There was statistically significant reduction of edema (the thickness normalization of rabbit cornea) in a shorter time under the influence of a quercetin-containing drop.
