Apparent Oxygen Uptake Rate of the Human Cornea In Vivo Following Soft Contact Lens Removal

S.T. Parrish, J.R. Larke

Abstract

Apparent epithelial oxygen uptake rates were measured in seven subjects before and after contact lens wear. A statistically significant pattern of raised respiration rates immediately following contact lens wear was observed in the contact lens-wearing eye and in the contralateral, noncontact lens-wearing eye, which acted as a control.
