It is indicated for corneal edema. In our little corner of the world, it's often used by people suffering from recurrent corneal erosions (RCE), which is why we're stocking it here. Muro 128 is sold in two forms - drops, or ointment. We only stock the ointment here as we don't think there is much demand for the drop among our customer base, but do let us know if you feel we should stock them.
