AIM: To evaluate the clinical effect of 200g/L protein-free calf blood extract eye gel for corneal epithelial defect. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-eight cases of corneal epithelial defect(58 cases with herpes simplex keratitis; 24 cases with chemical injury; 85 cases with pterygium operation injury)were randomly divided into two groups: 84 eyes were treated with protein-free calf blood extract eye gel; 84 cases were treated with basic fibroblast growth factor eye gel(bFGF). The bFGF and protein-free calf blood extract eye gels were used 4 times a day. The treatment course was 7d. Epithelial defect restoration, local symptom and sign were observed. RESULTS: The difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment was significant(PCONCLUSION: Protein-free calf blood extract eye gels is valuable and safe for corneal epithelial defect.
