eye and alloxan diabetes, a histological study on the cornea, conjunctiva and uveal tract

ABSTRACT

Diabetes was induced in rabbits by injecting alloxan in their ear vein. These animal were classifid into two groups, one groups were sacrificed after 3 months, while the other groups were sacrificed after 5 months. A third group was considered as a control. The eyes were enucleated and prepared for histological study after staining with haematoxylin and eosin, and PAS stains. The eyes were examined for their cornea, conjunctivas, irides, ciliary bodies ans choroids. The changes, which were met with, were identified and discussed
