Text: No statistically significant difference was found between patched (n = 25) and nonpatched (n = 22) eyes for the mean size of the initial erosion (patched eyes, 23. 7 mm2 ; nonpatched eyes, 18. 9 mm2 ; P =. 42), linear speed of reepithelialization (reduction over time of the radius of the largest circle included in the erosion : patched eyes, 0. 0375 mm/h ; nonpatched eyes, 0. 0353 mm/h ; P =. 78), and surface speed of reepithelialization (reduction over time of the erosion area : patched eyes, 0. 6510 mm2/h ; nonpatched eyes, 0. 5657 mm2/h ; P =. 60).
