1 Your Ophthalmologist has prescribed you Poly (carboxymethylglucose sulfate) Medical device Patient Information

2 Why is it so important to treat diseases of the cornea? The cornea plays a major role in sight. A healthy cornea is essential for good vision. The cornea is also the eye s first line of defence against external aggression. The cornea PROTECTS the eye against bacteria, dust and other foreign bodies. The cornea is a transparent STRUCTURE with a highly organized architecture designed to maintain its integrity. 2

3 What happens when the cornea is injured? Superficial corneal damage can be repaired by the eye s in-built healing mechanisms before infection develops. When the damage is deeper, the healing process takes much longer. It is important TO SEE AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST quickly. COMPLIANCE with the treatment prescribed is ESSENTIAL for a successful outcome. Epithelium Bowman s layer Lens Macula Stroma Cornea Optical nerve Descemet s membrane Endothelium Retina 3

4 What happens when the cornea is injured? Persistent epithelial defects, healing defects, keratitis or neurotrophic ulcers... What are they? These are serious conditions which require diagnosis and treatment by an ophthalmologist specialising in, for example: Persistent epithelial defects: Very slow healing of corneal wounds or failure to heal with standard treatments, sometimes with recurrence of the impairment. Neurotrophic or recurrent keratitis or ulcers: Major healing difficulties caused by loss of corneal sensitivity potentially resulting in corneal perforation. When local treatments fail, these conditions often require major surgery, a graft or long-term treatment. D0 D5 D8 Photos copyright V. Ratnalingam 4

5 The mechanism of action of belongs to the REGENERATING AGENT family (or RGTA ). These agents are used for MATRIX THERAPY (or corneal matrix repair therapy). triggers REGENERATION of damaged tissues for ENHANCED HEALING and makes it possible to DELAY OR AVOID a more invasive surgical procedure.
