Clinical state of cornea after UV irradiation upon treatment or premedication with SkQ1. Rabbits eyes were exposed to 312 nm UV irradiation (halogen lamp, 8 W) for 4 days, 20 min per day with or without treatment (a) or premedication (b) with 7.5 μM SkQ1 eye drops. Clinical score on a fluorescein scale (0–6 points) was determined daily for 30 days (a) or on the next day (b) after the last irradiation session. *p < 0.05 compared with the values measured in control samples
