Summary
The process of healing of the injured cornea was investigated in rabbits. This process was followed up for the period ranging from 1 hr to 30 days after infliction of the injury. Biphasic course of regeneration of the epithelium and migration of cells from the epithelial layer to the border zone was not revealed. It was demonstrated that the structure of the epithelial wedge depended on the conditions of the experiment. Connective tissue possesses a lower reactivity than epithelium and it regenerates with its own cells. When the wound is inflicted near the limbus the elements of the latter may take part in its regeneration.
