In the field of the study about ocular burns due to bases, the efficiency of the rinsing with Diphotérine® in the 10 first minutes following the accident is proved not only thanks to biochemists arguments (inflexion of the pH curve during the rinsing) but also thanks to histologic arguments (absence of stromal oedema).
