An experimental study on the use of fibrin glue in corneal wound repair in rabbits

To evaluate the clinical outcomes and histopathological changes after using fibrin glue for repairing different types of corneal wound in rabbits. Ten rabbits were involved in this study. They were divided into two groups A and B, with each group consisting of 5 rabbits. Full thickness central cor...

Ten rabbits were involved in this study. They were divided into two groups A and B, with each group consisting of 5 rabbits. Full thickness central corneal wound of 6 mm in length was performed in group A and peripheral wound of 6 mm was made in group B. The wounds then were closed using the fibrin glue.
