While the trend of corneal edema (galectin-3−/− FK vs. wild type FK D1: 1.00 ± 0.00 vs. 1.33 ± 0.58; D3: 2.33 ± 0.58 vs. 2.67 ± 0.58; D5: 3.33 ± 0.58 vs. 4.00 ± 0.00) and ulcer coverage (galectin-3−/− FK vs. wild type FK D1: 1.33 ± 0.58 vs. 1.33 ± 0.58; D3: 2.33 ± 0.58 vs. 3.67 ± 0.57; D5: 3.33 ± 0.58 vs. 3.67 ± 0.58) was similar between the two groups (Figures 4(c) and 4(d)). Here, LGALS3 is linked to corneal edema.
