Collagen bandage lenses were inserted in 24 eyes of white New Zealand rabbits following 8-incision radial keratotomy. Specimens were examined at eight and 24 hours by light and electron microscopy. Treated eyes demonstrated more complete epithelial healing, as evidenced by surface microvilli and differentiation into multi-layers. In the treated eyes there was reduced stromal edema at the wound site, and reactive keratocytes were limited to the wound margins. Collagen bandage lenses therefore may be useful in the treatment of a variety of ocular surface problems.

We report a case of corneal fistulization which developed following acute hydrops in a patient with keratoconus. Treatment with thermokeratoplasty yielded good visual results. Corneal rupture and fistulization occurring after acute hydrops has been unreported. This case illustrates the need to be alert to these complications.
