Corneal exposure. Sodium concentration in aqueous and lens changes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reversible corneal exposure cataracts have been observed in many rodents. The postulated mechanism has been one of transcorneal evaporation of water increasing the concentration of the aqueous and osmotically affecting the lens. In this experiment, changes in the colligative properties of hamster aqueous were measured as related to corneal exposure and the development of lens opacity. A rise of sodium concentration of aqueous was found to parallel the appearance and progression of lens opacity.

Corneal epithelial and aqueous humor acidification during in vivo contact lens wear in rabbits.
PURPOSE Based on contact lens-induced stromal acidification of the cornea, it has been suggested that the corneal epithelial and endothelial cells also become acidotic during contact lens wear. This alleged acidification may have a role in altered cell appearance and metabolism during contact lens wear. This study investigated the effects of anoxia, carbon dioxide retention, and contact lens ga...
متن کاملCation changes in the lens and aqueous during the induction of acute reversible lens opacity in the hamster.
The induction of acute reversible lens opacities in the Stjrian hamster following phenylephrine mydriasis is accompanied by an increase in the sodium and potassium concentration and a decrease in the water content of the lens. There is a simultaneous increase in sodium concentration in the aqueous humor. Final analysis of the effect of various drugs on these lens opacities should reveal that th...

Changes in total water and electrolyte content were measured in corneas following cryopreservation and following experimental rehydration of the cryopreserved-thawed tissue in an albumin-NaCl solution, Kinsey medium, or in vivo in aqueous humor. During the cryopreservation procedure the corneal tissue becomes dehydrated and loses intracellular potassium and sodium. Experimental rehydration of t...
متن کاملEffects of sodium lactate on isolated rabbit corneas.
Corneal stromal lactate accumulation may result from epithelial hypoxia and contact lens wear, but the possible corneal toxicity of lactate has not been reported. Isolated superfused whole rabbit corneas were examined for thickness changes during exposure to neutral sodium lactate (NaL) or excess sodium chloride (NaCl) in Krebs-bicarbonate Ringer's solution for a 3-hr period. Placed in the tear...
