Abstract excerpt
We studied the paracellular permeability to mannitol of corneas with epithelium of corneal, limbal, or conjunctival origin. Corneas with epithelial defects reepithelialized by corneal or limbal epithelium were nonvascularized; the corneal permeability was initially increased and returned to normal 3 days later. When epithelial defects extended beyond the limbus, they were healed by conjunctival epithelium. If...
