Abstract:
It was the purpose of this study to investigate the regeneration of the corneal endothelium after its destruction by freezing. Transcorneal freezing by liquid nitrogen was used to destroy the central part of the rabbit's corneal endothelium with the Cryo-probes of 5mm in diameter. The variation of cell size during regeneration of the corneal endothelium after freezing was studied in rabbits by Pachometry and Light microscopy.
