  • Title: The effect of hypertonic saline on human corneal hydration.
    Author: Kempster AJ, Larke JR, Marsters JB.
    Journal: Br J Physiol Opt; 1975; 30(1):16-19. PubMed ID: 1234526.
    Abstract:
    Hydrophilic gel contact lenses, presoaked in various strength saline solutions, were held in intimate contact with the in vivo human cornea. A change in corneal water content was observed taking place against the induced osmotic gradient. Direct stimulation of some aspect of the mechanisms controlling corneal hydration is postulated, in a manner which may be similar to that previously reported for the in vitro rabbit cornea.
