Summary

Field studies have shown that there is a seasonal variation in mitosis of lens and corneal epithelium (high in May and June, low during the rest of the year). This phenomenon can be reproduced in the laboratory by temperature manipulation. The response in the lens depends on the presence of the pituitary gland while the corneal one seems to be independent of it.
