Group 1 patients received topical moxifloxacin and preservative- free artificial tears, while Group 2 participants used these drops in addition to AS five times a day. Patients were followed until their corneal epithelial defects were closed. The baseline size of the epithelial defects was measured, and corneal densitometry measurements using Pentacam HR (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) were obtained before treatment. Epithelial healing rates and post-treatment corneal densitometric measurements were compared.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Group 1 comprised 41 male participants with a mean age of 36.1\u2009\u00b1\u200913.3 years, and Group 2 consisted of 42 male participants with a mean age of 34.9\u2009\u00b1\u200911.5 years.
