Clinical commentary 臨床

Salt on the cornea, applied with a rush pith. A hypertonic salt does draw fluid out of a waterlogged cornea, and that is the one rational basis for it: in corneal oedema a 5% sodium chloride drop or ointment is still used to clear the haze. Dry crystals rubbed onto the surface abrade the epithelium and will hurt a great deal; the modern form of the same idea is the only one worth having. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
