Mechanisms of corneal epithelial wound healing
Abstract
A mathematical model has been developed to describe the overall corneal epithelial wound healing process. Following surgery or trauma to the corneal epithelium, the repair of damage to the cell layers is essential for the maintenance of normal visual acuity. Evidence suggests that epithelial wound healing consists of a healing phase during which cell migration occurs to effect wound closure and cell mitosis restores the epithelial cell density …
