The newly synthesized extracellular matrix presented as foam layer at the early specimens is a common finding reported after photo refractive keratectomy or even simple epithelial scrape injury in a number of previous studies [ 21 22 23 24 ] and is supposed to manifest the healing response of rabbit corneas [ 21 22 24 ] .
Their applicability as masking agents for corneal photoablation was examined in experimental models of animal and cadaver eyes (Scott et al: Collagen modulator fluids for use during photoablation keratectomy: ARVO 1992, Margaritis et al.
In 1985 Serdareviz et al proposed the first therapeutic use of the excimer laser to treat an experimental Candida infectious keratitis [ 1 ] .
