Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023, involving 378 students from non-medical disciplines, primarily from information technology, business administration, and engineering faculties, with a mean age of 20.

Innovative Cold Atmospheric Plasma (iCAP) Decreases Mucopurulent Corneal Ulcer Formation and Edema and Reduces Bacterial Load in Keratitis.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of application of 3% air in helium cold atmospheric plasma jet, using an inexpensive device termed iCAP, in corneal scratch wound closure and the treatment of () keratitis .

Methods: Thermal imaging to measure temperature of surfaces to which iCAP was applied and UV energy density delivered by iCAP were measured. Scratch wounds inflicted on cultures of a human corneal epithelial cell line were treated with iCAP and wound widths at various times post-application were measured.
