THE evidence that cortisone inhibits wound healing in animals and man through its depressant action upon fibroblastic activity has already been reviewed (Duke-Elder and Ashton, 1951), but this conclusion might not apply equally to repair-processes in the non-vascularized tissue of the cornea, in which the metabolism is peculiar and the structure unique. The following experiments were therefore designed to determine the effect of cortisone upon the healing of perforating wounds of the rabbit cornea.
