摘要：
The present invention provides for silk-derived compositions for treating a wide variety of ocular conditions. The composition is produced by processing the silk cocoon into a water-based solution (i.e., a dissolved silk), which is then cast into a film. The film may be transparent to visible light, and curved in shape for easy application to the ocular surface. The silk film may either self-adhere or be sutured to cover the wound. The degradation time of the film may range from 1 minute to 24 hours, or from 2 hours to 20 hours. The present compositions can help regenerate damaged corneal tissue, thus promoting healing.
