title: [Contribution to the changes in the epithelium in macular corneal dystrophy (Groenouw's type II) (author's transl)].
abstract: In macular corneal dystrophy the epithelial cells display increased activity: they produce proteins and glucosaminoglucans. This may lead to the synthesis of collagen and of pathologic proteoglugans.
