AlloSLET versus AMG in the Early Management of Severe Grade Ocular Chemical Injuries: A Retrospective Comparative Study

We appreciate the interest expressed in and acknowledge the comments of Navarro and associates about our study.1 The first concern raised was about the groups not being matched with respect to demographic and preoperative clinical parameters (age, time to presentation, grade of injury and causative agent). We would like to repeat that the homogeneity among the groups was confirmed using regression analysis and thereby negated the possibility of a confounding bias. Only the above-mentioned 4 independent variables were included for multivariate analysis commensurate with the study sample size (n  = 77), ensuring that the validity of logistic regression analysis was not compromised.
