[The relation between corneal autolysis and the lysosomal enzyme level in aqueous humor and corneal storage medium].
The activity of acid phosphatase, a marker enzyme of lysosomal enzymes, in aqueous humor of wet-chamber stored eyeball and corneal storage medium was determined. The results showed a significant rise in the enzyme activity as the storage time increased, i.e. the degree of autolysis of the cornea progressed.
