Figure 2
Clinical analysis of the alkali-burned corneas treated with vitamin C (Vc). (a) The corneas of the alkali-burned mice were stained with sodium fluorescein. (b) The results of the epithelial damage scores expressed as the mean ± SEM. (c) Representative images of neovascularization in the two groups. (d) The results of corneal neovascularization scores expressed as the mean ± SEM. (e) Representative images of corneal opacity in different groups. (f) The results of corneal opacity scores, expressed as the mean ± SEM. Abbreviations: Ctrl, control group (sterile water group); Vc, Vitamin C group; ns, no significant difference between the indicated groups. Means the comparison of Vc group and control group. Means the comparison on day 1. , , and . Scale bar = 50 μm.
