Collagen corneal shield has recently been increasingly applied as a corneal badage lens or drug delivery system, because of its usefulness in treating various ocular surface problems. Therefore, we put our focus in this review on treatment procedure for corneal ulcer in dogs and cats using the collagen shield impregnated with ofloxacin and the resulting clinical findings. In the final analysis from some clinical trials, this collagen shield impregnated with ofloxacin is found to be one of the useful therapeutical materials for corneal protection and/or reconstructive procedure in case of corneal diseases.
