This study aims at determining the physiological influence of 3 rinsing solutions on the cornea during a prolonged treatment of serious burns. This influence is important as it will induce the healing process of the damaged eye. The 3 solutions are : phosphate buffer (Isogutt), 0,9% saline solution and Diphotérine®. The results show an important calcification of the cornea in case of the use of the phosphate buffer entailing an important opacification. An accumulation of sodium and chloride is demonstrated for the 0.9% saline solution that entails an imbalance of cornea hydration. Diphotérine® is the only one with a beneficial effect by reducing the pH of the cornea surface and respecting in the same time the physiological status of the cornea (except the incidence on the sulphur rate).
