[Treatment of corneal ulcers by hydrophilic lenses pre-soaked in proteolytic hydrolysates of the corneal stroma (author's transl)].

The faculty of confering to hydrophilic contact lenses the properties of corneal bandage made unable to swell has been investigated by saturating them with calf's corneal hydrolysate. The absorption and storage of the proteolytic hydrolysate (properties and collagenasic hydrolysate's technic of obtention is mentioned) by hydrophilic contact lenses are studied. The treatment of some corneal ulcers is related for 27 eyes from 20 patients. The results appear more suitable for torpic ulcers than for mechanical ulcers.
