Brief description Presently, no drugs are proven to cure corneal haze/scarring, major leading cause of global blindness. Haze is caused by eye trauma, infections or refractive laser surgeries. We aim to test a non toxic, novel ophthalmic topical formulation developed to act on molecular and cellular targets of haze formation. The successful completion of the study will determine formulation’s optimal dose, safety and efficacy for its future potential clinical use in reversing corneal scarring/haze without side effects.
