Abstract
The present invention provides methods for promoting healing of wounds which result from corneal resurfacing procedures, e.g. from laser surgery to alter refractive of the eye. The methods involve the application of a sheet of cultured epithelial cells to the laser corneal resurfacing wound of a subject in need of such treatment. The methods promote faster healing of corneal resurfacing wounds relative to prior art methods of healing such wounds. The invention also provides corneal wound healing devices having the shape and dimensions of a contact lens.
