Aloin alleviates corneal injury in alkali burn via inhibiting neutrophil extracellular traps and promoting Nrf2

Ocular chemical burns are a leading cause of blindness. The cornea is injured by alkali-induced oxidative disturbances and an inflammatory response. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of aloin, an antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory compound, on corneal alkali burn.
