A murine model of corneal epithelial wounding can be performed using simple injury and imaging methods. Here, we describe the creation of a central corneal epithelial defect using mechanical debridement under ophthalmic microscopic visualization. Subsequent monitoring with vital dye application and slit-lamp bio microscopy (slit-lamp) is described in detail.
