# Corneal Abrasion Treatment Summary Modern corneal abrasion management prioritizes lubrication, pain control, and infection prevention. Topical NSAIDs like ketorolac 0.5% and diclofenac 0.1% are highly effective for pain relief, with diclofenac offering the advantage of avoiding systemic side effects. Antibiotic prophylaxis—either ciprofloxacin 0.3% for higher-risk cases (especially contact lens-related injuries) or erythromycin 0.5% ointment for general protection and lubrication—is recommended as a precautionary measure. Routine eye patching is no longer advised, as it does not improve healing and obscures observation for potential infection development.
