Tear Concentrations of Sodium and Potassium During Adaptation to Contact Lenses—ii. Potassium Observations∗

Key Points

This research aims to observe changes in sodium and potassium concentrations in tears during contact lens adaptation.
Monitored tear concentrations of sodium and potassium in six patients
Compared levels with pre‐fitting measurements
Sodium and potassium concentrations varied independently in tears
Notable changes observed during the adaptation period

Abstract

ABSTRACT Sodium and potassium concentrations of the tears of six patients were monitored during adaptation to contact lenses and compared with pre‐fitting levels. These two cations were found to vary relatively independently. and the implications of these variations are discussed relative to fitting observations.
