Article: A clinical evaluation of oxygen and carbon dioxide values and pH in the human aqueous humour in normal and cataractous eyes.(Articles)

Byline: R. Sharma, Y. Mishra, G. Verma, Kishan. Lal

The avascular lens almost entirely depends upon aqueous humour for its nourishment. Lenticular metabolism is mostly anaerobic and to some extent aerobic-an auto oxidative metabolic system wherein glutathione, Vit. C. and riboflavin are the essential requirements. A cataractous lens is an asphyxiated lens producing changes in pH, pCO[sub] 2 and pO[sub] 2 of the aqueous.

Accurate measurement of the pCO[sub] 2 and pH values of the aqueous in normal and cataractous eyes can throw a lot of light on the utilization of 0; and acidic waste products. Therefore, it was considered worthwhile to analyze the aqueous ...
