Abstract
Lens induction can be considered one of those intercellular interactions in which tissue differentiation is started and growth is directed. Significant information on interactions during eye development has been contributed by the work of Coulombre (1965), Coulombre and Coulombre (1963), McKeehan (1951, 1958), Beebe et al.(1979), Genis-Galvez (1965), Genis-Galvez et al. (1967), Hay and Dodson, (1973), Niu and Twitty(1953), and Toivonen et al.(1976).
