An acute irritative response in the rabbit eye, taking the form of a rise in the intraocular pressure (IOP), miosis, and breakdown of the blood-aqueous barrier, was elicited by topical application of 1% neutral formaldehyde. The peak rise in IOP was 22.1 ± 2.5 mmHg and occurred within 14.2 ± 1.9 min, after which IOP returned to normal values in 45.4 ± 5.2 min. An increased amount of i.v.-injected Evans Blue was found in the aqueous humour when injected 15 min after the irritation (119.0 ± 21.2… CONTINUE READING
