Zusammenfassung:	To evaluate the efficacy of pure honey and 20% autologous serum and BSS in corneal epithelial healing in rabbits after 48 hours. All solutions were applied after an epithelial removal of 13-millimeters diameter area. Areas of epithelial healing were studied at 12, 24 and 48 hours. The eyes were treated every four hours during 2 days. All treated eyes were assigned to a control group (contralateral eye) treated with a balanced saline solution. All studied groups were not significantly different. In group one, the eyes treated with honey and the control were similar (p
