Abstract:The precise study of tears can afford good help in the preoperative and postoperative management of keratoplasties. Such studies may be performed with a laser nephelometer, a very comfortable and practical equipment for quantitative protein analysis, which enables one to analyze tears much more precisely than the break-up time and the Schirmer tests. Raised albumin and IgG values were demonstrated, indicating increased permeability of the blood-tear barrier, in the group with postoperatively reduced visual acu… Show more
Reduction in the total protein concentration, intensity of the protein bands as well as changes in the quantity of tear proteins were observed in the tear samples stored for longer duration of time at various temperatures.

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.
