Alcaine
Alcaine is a topical ophthalmic solution. It contains the active ingredient proparacaine hydrochloride, which is a local anesthetic used to numb the eye's surface.

Longitudinal Study of Myopia in Children
Both cases and controls were asked to complete a questionnaire to collect possible myopia related factors including number of parents with myopia, frequency of doing eye exercises, time spent in near work, outdoor activities, etc. The design of the questionnaires used in the ACES has been described elsewhere2 (link).

anesthesia. General anesthesia was induced and maintained by mask using 2–3% isoflurane (delivered in 100% oxygen). Topical 0.5% proparacaine hydrochloride
(Alcaine®, Alcon Laboratories Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA) was applied for corneal anesthesia. No procedure was done on the contralateral eye (left
eye), served as a control. As a prevention against bleeding from iris, the pupils were dilated with topical 0.5% tropicamide (Mydriacyl®, Alcon). The
intraocular pressure (IOP) was raised to 130 mmHg by cannulation of the anterior chamber with a 30-gauge needle connected to a hydrostatic pressure device
containing sterile 0.9% NaCl (isotonic saline solution) for 50 min [27 (link)].

The dilation regime was topical tropicamide 1% (Mydriacyl, Alcon, Puurs, Belgium) and phenylephrine hydrochloride 2.5% (Mydfrin, Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA). Topical anaesthesia consisted of proparacaine hydrochloride 0.5% (Alcaine, Alcon, Puurs, Belgium). All patients were also given non-preserved intracameral lidocaine hydrochloride 1% at the commencement of the surgery. No oral or intravenous sedation was used. Phacoemulsification was performed in the standard manner by a single surgeon blinded to allocation group. Immediately after the surgery, patients completed the VAS, followed by the STAI.

Comprehensive Ocular Assessment Protocol
Schirmer's testing with topical anesthesia (5% proparacaine HCl, Alcaine®, Alcon Laboratories Inc., TX, USA) was first conducted. Then, an average TBUT was assessed following application of an unpreserved fluorescein strip soaked with unpreserved physiological salt (0.9%). Finally, ocular surface staining with unpreserved fluorescein (using the Oxford scale index) was done.
Levels of irritation were assessed using the McMonnies scale (Grade 0 to Grade 2) and questionnaire, where Grade 0 indicated no ocular irritation and Grade 2 was strong ocular irritation. The Ocular Surface Disease index (OSDI) questionnaire, comprising 12 questions across 3 subcategories, provided a measure of disease impact on quality of life. Average scores were translated to a 100-point scale, in which 0 represented the least possible impact on quality of life and 100 indicated the greatest impact.
Corneal Regeneration with Tissue-Engineered Graft
The fibrovascular pannus developed on the rabbit eye 30 days after surgery and was separated and removed from the corneal stroma. The tissue-engineered graft (TEG) was placed on the prepared corneal surface. The TEG was sutured to the episclera with the cells facing up so that its folds formed a roller on the periphery of the cornea to perform a barrier function between the conjunctival epithelium and the corneal graft.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
