Comparative biochemical and morphometric studies on corneal wound healing.

Comparative biochemical and morphological studies were carried out on wounded corneas in order to correlate biochemical findings with morphometric observations during the healing process. Experimental production of corneal wounds, biochemical determinations and quantitative morphometric studies are described in an attempt to correlate corneal matrix macromolecules biosynthesis during the healing process with the morphological modifications of the tissue. The central part and the peripheral part of the corneas were examined separately and compared to the central and peripheral parts of the controlateral corneas.
