Abstract
Several aspects of the ocular surface epithelium, including its clinical appearance, its effect on the strength of underlying stromal wounds and its healing rates, were compared between regenerating epithelium of conjunctival and that of corneal origin in rabbits. Conjunctival epithelium could not transform completely into functionally competent corneal epithelium within 6 wk.
