Methods were developed for the in vivo estimation of rate constants for transport from blood to aqueous and subsequently into lens and corneal water compartments. Glucose transport was characterized with the nonmetabolized radiolabeled glucose analogs (14C)-L-glucose (L-glu) and (3H)-3-O-methyl-D-glucose (mD-glu) that are considered to enter the ocular humors by passive and facilitated diffusio...
