Observations on the Growth of Blood Vessels into the Cornea. Application of a New Experimental Technique

Abstract

FEW subjects in opthalmology are more important from the clinical point of view than opacification and vascularization of the cornea; moreover, the problems included have a wide physiological and pathological interest. The unsatisfactory state of our present knowledge of the fundamental processes involved has been pointed out in the foregoing article by Ashton and Cook (1953), who also give a review of the literature. The present paper describes experimental investigations undertaken to elucidate these matters further.
