Abstract
A 32 years old patient died seven months after a radial keratotomy. The histologic study of one cornea is realized. The wound of anterior stroma varies from 0.08 to 0.13 mm; it is filled of epithelial cells with eosinophile cytoplasm and a round nucleus. Near this epithelial ingrowth Bowman's membrane is interrupted and the fibres of stroma lose their parallel direction in comparison with the epithelial plane. These histopathologic results are compared with the other publications; and in reference with the mechanism of the healing, an histogenesis of the corneal healing is proposed.
