摘要
Water permeability of Descemet's membrane can be calculated from the time sequence of corneal thickening. Permeabilities are calculated from data obtained in three different ways: (1) when an enucleated eye is cooled to 4°C; (2) when an in vivo eye is scraped free of endothelium and Descemet's membrane; and (3) when an excised cornea is allowed to thicken under controlled swelling pressure conditions. The calculation is based on the theory of water imbibition by swelling membranes. The calculated permeability of Descemet's membrane is reasonable in view of the structure of that membrane. © 1969 Academic Press Inc. (London) Ltd.
