Chicago Cornea Consultants (United States)
“After numbing drops are applied, the epithelium (the thin layer on the surface of the cornea) is gently removed. Next Photrexa Viscous eye drops will be applied to the cornea for at least 30 minutes. The cornea is then exposed to UV light for 30 minutes while additional Photrexa Viscous drops are applied.”
