Corneal thickness changes from bathing solutions.
Corneal thickness changes were measured after bathing the outer corneal surface with sodium chloride solutions of various concentrations. Bathing was accomplished by total immersion in the solution in a goggle or by the application of drops for a period of 20 minutes. A nearly linear relationship was found between hypotonicity and the degree of corneal swelling.
