A standard large wound of the corneal epithelium in the rabbit.
A method of iodine vapor cautery was applied to rabbit eyes. The cautery produces an approximately circular area denuded of epithelium of uniform size. The eye is not inflamed, and the very rapid mean healing rate of 1.42 mm2hr-1 was observed.
