Abstract:
1. A comparative studies of the effects of Varidase and Urokinase on the experimental hyphema produced by the injection of rabbits auto-blood were performed in 20 eyes. 2. Subconjunctival injection of each enzymes were perfomed 1 hour after production of hyphema, and thereafter repeated once daily for 10 days. 3. Varidase increased the rate of absorption of hyphema, but Urokinase had no effect. 4. No side reactions were observed following the subconjunctival injection of these enzymes.
