NONE
Chemically-treated, viro-inactivated, freeze-dried and irradiated allograft placed by the investigator during patients' hospital visit
Largest diameter of persistent epithelial lesion area or corneal ulcer under 0.5 mm
Diameter assessed by centralized reading on photograph after fluorescein test
Time frame: 15 days
Recovery of the visual acuity evaluated by Monoyer chart
Time frame: 30 days, 45 days
Stable or decreased score for inflammatory and clinical signs of the ocular surface
Composite score for inflammatory and clinical signs of the ocular surface on 66 points. Duration and intensity are evaluated for secretion, dry eyes, tearing, foreign body sensation, fluctuating vision, photophobia, burning sensation and lids edema. Duration is evaluated from a scale from 0: never to 4: all the time. Intensity is evaluated from a scale from 0: slight to 2: severe. Localization and intensity are evaluated for conjunctival edema, conjunctival redness and neovascularization. Localization is evaluated on a scale from 0: no reaction to 4: reaction present in the whole eye.
Time frame: 2 days, 4 days, 7 days, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days, 45 days
Stabilisation or decrease of pain evaluated on visual analog scale
VAS on 10 points from 0: no pain to 10: worst imaginable pain
Time frame: 2 days, 4 days, 7 days, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days, 45 days
