These Proceedings of the Fourth International Congress on the
Cornea continue a tradition of summarizing the state-of-the art
basic and clinical research in cornea and ex- ternal diseases since
the first Congress was held in 1964. Reflecting the emerging impor-
tance of refractive surgery, two of the twelve sessions of the
Congress were devoted to refractive surgery; this is reflected in
an emphasis in these Proceedings. In addition, an en- tire session
was devoted to the molecular and cellular biology of the cornea
with impor- tant new information on the role of growth factors and
cytokine modulation of corneal wound healing. Within these
Proceedings an international group of expert researchers and
practitioners provide the latest insights into the tear film and
ocular surface, corneal trans- plantation and eyebanking, the
corneal stroma and endothelium, contact lenses, microbial and
nonmicrobial keratitis, keratoconus, and world corneal health.
Notable subjects covered include the latest understanding of the
barrier function of the ocular surface epithelium, corneal
hydration control, the molecular mechanisms con- trolling gene
expression in corneal wound healing, stromal~pithelial interactions
in the cornea, the immunology of blepharitis, the effect of contact
lenses on the conjunctiva, morphologic and functional evaluation of
the human corneal endothelium, long-term fol- low-up of penetrating
keratoplasty in keratoconus, the Tampa trephine penetrating kerato-
plasty, and the refractive results of the Nidek EC-5000 excimer
laser.
