Long-term alterations of collagen reconstruction and basement membrane regeneration after corneal full-thickness penetrating injury in rabbits

ABSTRACT: The corneal full-thickness penetrating injury model was established in the left eye of New Zealand White rabbits using a 2.0 mm trephine. All corneas were evaluated using slit-lamp photography, hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunofluorescent staining for collagen types I and III (Col I, III), and transmission electron microscopy for collagen fibers and basement membrane.
