In 16 rabbits with bilateral corneal burns, indomethacin was administered topically to one eye on each day after the lesion was made to determine the effect of a prostaglandin inhibitor on the corneal neovascular response to experimental thermal burns. Comparison of the two eyes showed a reduction of both hyperemia and neovascularization in indomethacin-treated eyes during the first five days after injury. Histologic observations during this period showed a reduction in polymorphonuclear cell infiltration in the treated corneas. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by indomethacin apparently led to a reduction in the inflammatory response and the subsequent corneal neovascularization.
