Corneal thickness and osmolarity are significantly correlated to the osmolarity of the rinsing solution. Corneal edema dilutes the agent in the stroma. Therefore, we recommend solutions with low osmolarity (tap water) or high buffer capacity (Previn) for the initial post-trauma irrigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
