Dynamics of ocular surface pH.

W H Coles, P A Jaros

    The British Journal of Ophthalmology
    |August 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ocular surface pH in healthy individuals averages 7.11. Factors like age, time of day, and eyelid closure influence this pH, impacting contact lens wear and medication efficacy.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • The ocular surface pH is crucial for maintaining eye health.
    • Understanding pH regulation is key to addressing ocular surface conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate factors influencing ocular surface pH.
    • To explore the mechanisms of ocular surface pH regulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Measured ocular surface pH in 161 subjects.
    • Analyzed pH variations based on age, time of day, and eyelid closure.
    • Observed pH recovery after acid drop instillation.

    Main Results:

    • Mean pH in normal volunteers was 7.11 (SD 1.5).
    • Older women exhibited more alkaline pH.

  • pH shifted from acidic to alkaline throughout the day.
  • Eyelid closure induced an acidic shift; recovery took 40 minutes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ocular surface pH is dynamic and influenced by physiological factors.
    • pH fluctuations may impact contact lens tolerance and drug efficacy.
    • Understanding pH regulation is vital for managing ocular diseases.
