Aim: To review the current evidence of the treatment of hydrofluoric acid (HF) exposure to the human cornea.
Methods: A comprehensive manual search of the literature was conducted through the Ovid interface to assess the mechanism and efficacy of each irrigator through a variety of clinical cases and experimental studies.
Results: Ocular exposure to HF is extremely damaging to the eye and swift recognition and decontamination with an appropriate agent forms the basis of treatment.
