Abstract

Improved healing of wounds, particularly wounds of the eye, such as keratorefractive surgical incisions, is obtained by coating the wound surfaces with a solution containing a protein crosslinking compound such as dimethyl pimelimidate dihydrochloride, followed by treatment with a composition containing an extracellular matrix material such as fibronectin, a biologically active fragment or an analog thereof.
