Alternative medicine in Ophthalmology
Abstract
We have done a therapeutic investigation in six patients which had Keratoconjunctivitis sicca syndrome, one male and five females who are under the age 24 to 60. They were attended in the ophthalmology department of the Provincial Hospital of Moron city with moderates and severe symptomatology during the year of 1993. We used autologous serum eye drops, stored in plastic tubes and frozen. The main aspects evaluated were: foreign body sensation, ocular pain, photophobia, redness, irritation and corneal filaments. After two months period treatment the symptoms disappeared in three patients, descending to low levels in two and one of them didn’t get better. In the use of this treatment the score was very satisfactory with the alternative procedure in a moment we didn´t have the right medication.
