What causes more antibiotics to come to the region of a corneal ulceration when heat is applied?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood flow: The only thing i can think of is that heat will cause vasodilation, which would be a bit more blood and thus systemic antibiotics to the site. This would have no effect on topical antibiotics, however.
