Q

What is the main process the cornea recieves Glucose?

A

Anaerobic glycolsus

23
Q

Where is Glucose the highest concentration; tears or AH?

A

AH is the primary contributor of glucose to all corneal layers.

24
Q

What metabolic product is known to degrade Corneal Basement membrane hemidesmisomes?

A

MMP’s

Note: When RCE occurs, we give a corticosteroids and tetracyclines to decrease the activity of MMP’s

A

Hexokinase

30
Q

What is the primary protector against oxidative damage in the lens?

A

Glutathione.

Note: Glutathione decreases as we age, thus formation of a cataract occurs.

31

32
Q

Which part of the lens has the largest demand for energy?

A

Anterior lens epithelium

33
Q

At what age are Alpha crystallins depleted in the lens?

34
Q

What is the rate of increase in lens per year?

A

0.02mm/year

A

Anterior mid-peripheral portion of the lens. Type 4 collagen

36
Q

As we age, what happens to the thickness of the overall choroid?

A

Decreases.

Note: Choriocapillaris will decrease in size, but Bruch’s Membrane will increase in size.

37
Q
