Q

pathophysiology of acid burns in toxic conjunctivitis

A
  • Dissociate into hydrogen ions in the cornea
  • Hydrogen damages the ocular surface by altering the pH
  • Produces protein coagulation which prevents deeper penetration of the acids into the eye
  • Hydrofluoric acid acts as an alkali
