This review was received in April of 1998. In general, the style of this submitted manuscript is too conversational, not didactic enough. The author should discuss his procedure with respect to other works, stressing how his may be comparable or preferable. References might be helpful. An area free of contaminants should always be sought.
Pharmacies often prepare ophthalmic solutions with a laminar flow hood.
If the author is suggesting that his method is equally acceptable, data should be provided on actual cases to relieve the reader of this concern. Thus, the author describes a method to avoid backflush in the first section of this paragraph. It is intimated that this could over dilute the concentration of antibiotic solutions in the syringe to which you are adding water. This could be a problem, too. Please clarify these issues further.
