title: Oxygen permeability of rabbit and human corneal stroma.
abstract: Oxygen permeability (Dk) of 15 rabbit and 19 human cornea stromal samples was measured by conventional polarographic means at 36 C. Hydration and thickness were also measured. Rabbit stromal permeability was found to be about 26 X 10(-11) ml O2 cm2/sec ml mmHg at normal in vivo hydration; in vivo human cornea stromal permeability is probably less than 29 X 10(-11) ml O2 cm2/sec ml mmHg.
