Abstract
Topical 10% phenylephrine will produce lens opacities in several strains of mouse. These lens opacities resolve spontaneously within 24 hours, leaving an apparently normal eye. Phenylephrine-induced lens opacification in the mouse can be prevented by covering the eye with ointment, suggesting that the underlying mechanism is transcorneal dehydration.Entities:
