This research aims to compare between bandage contact lens and pressure patching in reducing size of erosion area and pain scale in corneal erosion patients as well as its complications.
This is a randomized open-label clinical trial in patients with mechanical corneal erosion. Subjects were selected to use bandage contact lens (Senofilcon A) or pressure patching. All subjects received combination of Polymyxin B, Neomycin, and Gramicidin eye drops and 0,5% Tropicamide eye drops. Evaluation was done 24 hours after treatment

Bandage contact lens : contact lenses (material senofilcon A; base curve 8,8 mm; power - 0,50; diameter 14 mm)
Pressure patching : using 2 pieces of sterile gauze. The first gauze placed vertically and the second placed horizontally, then fixed with adhesive tape so that eyelid can not move.

Size of corneal erosion area
Corneal erosion area is the multiplication of the long and short axis of corneal erosion, as measured using a caliper, with the help of fluorescein and cobalt blue slit lamp beam
Time frame: 24 hour
Pain scale
Pain scale assessment conducted using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) subjectively
Time frame: 24 hour
