PREVENTIVE ROLE OF AQUEOUS HUMOR AS A POSSIBLE ANTICATARACTOUS NATURAL OCCULAR FLUID

*Dr Ajit V Pandya

Abstract

The formation of aqueous humour is a complex phenomenon involving movement of ions between blood vessels of the eyes and intra ocular fluids . The AQH serves as a sole nutrient medium and also determine the intra ocular pressure. The intra-ocular pressure depends primarily on the rate of secretion of AQH. The value of TSH content being highest in the age group of 31-40 years and lowest in the age group of 41-50 years. The average value of TSH content of AQH of normal human eye is 3.34 uM per 100ml. The decrease of ascorbic acid concentration is 31.38% in the last age group (81-90Yeas) when compared to first age group (31-40 Years). The potential significance of the reaction of photooxidizecd aromatic compounds with proteins in the mechanism of cataract formation.
