- Patient affiliated to a social security system or beneficiary of such a system
- Pregnant or breastfeeding patient or without contraception for non-menopausal women
- Active infectious ulcer
- Preperforating ulcer or ulcer that has reached the posterior 1/3 of the storm

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Largest diameter of persistent epithelial lesion area or corneal ulcer under 0.5 mm 15 days Diameter assessed by centralized reading on photograph after fluorescein test
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Recovery of the visual acuity evaluated by Monoyer chart 30 days, 45 days Stabilisation or decrease of pain evaluated on visual analog scale 2 days, 4 days, 7 days, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days, 45 days VAS on 10 points from 0: no pain to 10: worst imaginable pain
Stable or decreased score for inflammatory and clinical signs of the ocular surface 2 days, 4 days, 7 days, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days, 45 days 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.
