Fluorophotometric Analysis of the Ocular Surface Glycocalyx in Soft Contact Lens Wearers.

abstract：:In uveal vessels of isolated arterially perfused rabbit eyes there is direct evidence for the presence of post-junctional alpha 1-receptors and indirect evidence for alpha 2-receptors. Since vasoconstriction by epinephrine could not be blocked by an alpha 1-antagonist, only 30% by an alpha 2-antagonist and almost full...
