Summary

AFTER THAWING CRYOPRESERVED RABBIT CORNEAS AT 35 DEG C WERE STAINED WITH TRYPAN BLUE AND CELLULAR DAMAGE WAS EVALUATED WITH THE SPECULAR MICROSCOPE, USING INDIRECT ILLUMINATION, FROM THE ENDOTHELIAL SIDE. VIABLE CELLS, PRESUMABLY DAMAGED BY FREEZE THAW INJURY, BEGAN TO EFFECT REPAIR WITHIN ONE HOUR AFTER THE THAW AND COALESCED TO FORM A SINGLE LARGER CELL. PHOTOGRAPHS SUGGEST THAT COALESCENCE IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN EARLY REPAIR PROCESS RESULTING IN FEWER CELLS BUT ENABLING DAMAGED ONES TO SURVIVE. C.R.F.
