✦ Synopsis


Whitish dots in the stroma of the cornea resembling the cloudy dystrophy were observed in 4 patients wearing HEMA contact lenses; a lattice-like corneal pattern was seen in another patient wearing HEMA contact lenses. There were no complaints. Visual acuity was normal. Corneal sensitivity was normal or reduced, The pseudo-dystrophies vanished after replacement of the HEMA lenses by Boston IV material.

Lumbar ganglia innervating regenerating and normal hindlimbs were removed from larval Xenopus laevis at stage 56-57 (according to Nieuwkoop and Faber, '56) and implanted between the outer and inner corneas of larvae of the same species at stage 50. The control experiments consisted of implanting fra
