Measurement of Corneal Oxygen Uptake

Key Points

This research aims to quantify the rate of oxygen uptake by the cornea using a specific measurement technique.
Utilized a probe covered with a polyethylene membrane.
Placed the probe against the unanesthetized cornea.
Recorded the rate of change in oxygen tension to calculate uptake rates.
Demonstrated a measurable rate of oxygen flow from the membrane to the cornea.
Provided insights into the oxygen utilization of the cornea.

Abstract

Abstract Because of the importance of the rate of oxygen uptake by the cornea, various techniques have been used to measure the oxygen utilization. A probe covered by a polyethylene membrane can be placed against the unanesthetized cornea and the rate of change in oxygen tension recorded. The rate can be converted to indicate the rate of oxygen flow from the polyethylene membrane to the cornea.
