Corneas from 18 adult rabbits were perforated and subsequently occluded with N-butyl cyanoacrylate synthetic adhesive right cornea or by separated single points using the 910-polyglactine thread left cornea . The rabbits were divided into groups containing three animals per group. Examination after 7 15 and 30 days post-operative showed that both the synthetic adhesive and the suture were efficient in the occlusion of the surgical wounds thus stabilizing the intra-ocular content. The N-butyl cyanoacrylate adhesive was shown to be superior to the 910-polyglactine suture thread with regards to the evolution and the organization of the healing process. Key words rabbit cornea surgery- suture synthetic adhesive Cornea is subjected to traumas and injury processes due to its highly exposed location. Among the corneal injuries the abrasions the ulcers the lacerations and perforations 22 are the most relevant lesions. The perforations resulting of destructive infectious or non-infectious conditions are important factors in ophthalmology due to its high morbidity 3 Surgical repairs of penetrating lesions of the cornea have been the matter in frequent studies.
