Spontaneously-occurring changes in the cornea have been periodically observed during routine ophthalmologic examination of various strains of mice and rats. The clinical appearance of these changes has been variably described as corneal opacities, corneal dystrophy, or corneal roughness. The purpose of this study was to characterize corneal changes in Wistar rats by light and transmission electron microscopy (LM and TEM), and x-ray microanalysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
