Clinical Observations of the CEC-like cell group and control group on day 3 and day 7 in rabbits. (A) Slit-lamp photographs showed that the clarity of the CEC-like cell group corneas significantly improved after injection, while corneal opacity and stromal edema were still serious in the control group. (B) Visante OCT showed significant corneal thickness differences in the CEC-like cell group and the control group. (C) Confocal microscope images confirmed full coverage of polygonal cells on the Descemet’s membrane in the CEC-like cell group. (D) Changes of the corneal thickness during clinical observation. There were significant differences in the corneal thickness between the control group (●) and the CEC-like cell group (○) on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. Results are mean ± S.D. (n = 10 per group) *p < 0.05 compared to control group.
