Abstract:ABSTRACT.Purpose: To evaluate the effects of hypo-osmolar tap water and isotonic saline solution on the intracameral pH, intraocular pressure and histological changes in alkali burned rabbit eyes. Methods: Four groups of four rabbit corneas each were burned with 2 N sodium hydroxide, and then rinsed with 0.5 l or 1.5 l of saline solution or tap water, respectively. Changes in pH were monitored with an intracameral microelectrode. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was monitored by a transducer placed in the vitreous c… Show more

“…< 1.0). This rule was followed by Kompa et al (2005), who studied intraocular pressure (IOP) with different irrigating solutions after alkali burns (four groups of four corneas each), recording the IOP as 23 ± 10 mmHg and stating that it recovered after 18 ± 9 mins. Adding decimals to these means would not have made the results more accurate.…”
“…Spü-len Sie das Auge mit sehr viel klarem Wasser. Das Spülen mit großen Mengen von Wasser hat sich als wirksamer zur Verbesserung des Korneal-pH-Werts erwiesen als Spülungen mit kleineren Mengen oder mit Kochsalzlösungen [866]. Anschließend muss der Patient einer medizinischen Notfallversorgung zugeführt werden.…”
