AIM: To investigate the clinical effect of vitamin A Palmitate Eye Gel combined with Tobramycin Eye Drops on corneal epithelial injury.METHODS: Totally 80 patients(100 eyes)with corneal epithelial injury who came to our hospital from May 2015 to March 2016 were randomly divided into treatment group(50 eyes)and control group(50 eyes). The treatment group was treated with vitamin A Palmitate Eye Gel combined with Tobramycin Eye Drops, while the control group was treated with Tobramycin Eye Drops only. The curative effect of two groups was compared after 2wk and 4wk of treatment.RESULTS: The cure rate was 80% and the effective rate was 94% in the treatment group. The cure rate was 70% and the effective rate was 78% in the control group. There was significant difference in the effective rate between the two groups(PP0.01). The score of symptoms and signs in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group after 2wk of treatment(P0.01), but there was no significant between treatment groups and control grouop after 4wk of treatment(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Vitamin A Palmitate Eye Gel combined with Tobramycin Eye Drops can significantly improve dry eye symptoms and effectively shorten the healing time of corneal epithelium. It is an effective method to treat corneal epithelial injury.
