Cation concentration and water content were determined in the normal rainbow trout cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and vitreous humor. Anatomically the rainbow trout cornea possesses a thicker epithelium and a more prominent Bowman's membrane than those found in mammalian corneas. Descemet's membrane and the endothelium appear more primitive than their mammalian counterparts. In vitro, the cornea ...

purpose: to compare clear corneal incision and scleral tunnel incision in terms of intraocular pressure (iop), post-operative inflammation, induced astigmatism, and corneal edema in phacoemulcification. methods: this non-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 78 eyes with senile cataract. a clear corneal incision was made in 40 eyes and a scleral tunnel incision was made in 38 eyes. all eye...

purpose: to image leukocyte adherence to the vascular endothelium and extravasation into surrounding tissues in neovascularized corneas using acridine orange, a selective dna stain, in rats methods: corneal neovascularization was induced by placing two sutures in the cornea of one eye of 12 long-evans rats. one week later, acridine orange (4 mg/kg) was injected via the tail vein and the eyes we...
