Experimental keratomileusis operations were performed on 13 rabbit eyes.
The corneas of the rabbits, in particular the stroma, were investigated up
to 24 months after the operation by light and electron microscopy. The most
striking features of the corneal ultrastructure following experimental
keratomileusis were the presence of abnormal collagen fibrils and
electron-translucent vacuoles in the interface.
