Fig. 3From: Mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SKQ1 protects cornea from oxidative damage induced by ultraviolet irradiation and mechanical injuryClinical state of cornea after trephine scarification upon treatment with SkQ1. Rabbit eyes were scarified with trephine knife (7 mm in diameter, 50 μm deep) with or without treatment with 7.5 μM SkQ1 eye drops. Clinical score on a fluorescein scale (0–6 points) was determined daily for 4 days after the operation. *p < 0.05 compared with the values measured in control samplesBack to article page
