Quantitative changes were measured and ultrastructural alterations were detected in rabbit corneas after exposure to a far ultraviolet irradiation (UV). Low dose exposure (105 - 8 x 105 erg/cm2) resulted one day later in a thicker epithelium and loss of the intercellular permeability barrier. In corneas exposed to higher doses (5 x 106 erg/cm2), the epithelium was considerably thinner one day later, whereas 4 days later it was of normal thickness and the endothelial cells became degenerated. The highest UV dose exposure used (a total of 20 x 106 erg/cm2 given in 4 equal daily doses) resulted in (1) swelling of the stroma and disorganization of the collagen fibers; (2) disappearance of the basement membrane; (3) degeneration of the endothelial cells; and (4) considerable reduction of epithelium thickness.
对暴露于远紫外线（UV）照射后的兔角膜进行了定量变化测量并检测了超微结构改变。低剂量照射（105 - 8×105尔格/平方厘米）一天后导致上皮增厚以及细胞间通透性屏障丧失。在暴露于较高剂量（5×106尔格/平方厘米）的角膜中，一天后上皮明显变薄，而4天后其厚度恢复正常但内皮细胞发生退化。所使用的最高紫外线剂量照射（以4个相等的日剂量总共给予20×106尔格/平方厘米）导致：（1）基质肿胀和胶原纤维紊乱；（2）基底膜消失；（3）内皮细胞退化；以及（4）上皮厚度显著降低。
