The involvement and role of the plasmino‐gen activator‐plasmin system in normal and pathological wound healing is reviewed. The methods currently available for demonstrating plasmin activity are briefly described. The article also reviews some other serine proteases potentially involved in pathological wound healing processes. The current ophthalmolog‐ical therapeutic measures used to regulate tissue pro‐teolysis are also described.
