Risk Factors for Dry Eye After Refractive Surgery.

abstract：:Epithelium plays a very important structural and functional role in the cornea and conjunctiva. Evaluation of the epithelium is the first step in diagnosing many pathologic states. We have developed a new technique for the in vivo staining of nuclei of corneal and conjunctival epithelium in rabbits and guinea pigs. Se...
