Which of the following is the most impoant adjuvant therapy in fungal corneal ulcer:
Atropine sulphate causes decrease in ciliary spasm and causes mydriasis thus preventing the chance of posterior synechia. It also increases blood supply to the anterior uvea by reliving pressure from the anterior ciliary aeries and brings antibodies to the aqueos humour. It reduces exudation by decreasing hyperaemia and vascular permeablity. Ref: A.K KHURANA (2005), Chapter 5, "Disease of The Cornea", In the book, "Opthalmology", 3rd Edition, Newdelhi, Page 121
