Abstract
The effect on corneal sensitivity of exposing the human cornea to reduced partial pressure of atmospheric O2 for up to 10 h was evaluated. Corneal sensitivity diminished markedly with 2.1% and 3.15% partial O2 pressure. Lower than normal O2 pressure at the corneal surface apparently is mainly responsible for significant changes in corneal sensitivity.Keywords
