Immunopathology of the Lens. III. The effect of experimental allergic uveitis on the cation balance in the lens

Rabbit lenses from eyes suffering from experimental allergic uveitis showed a clear enhancement in the 86Rb efflux as compared to the lenses from the fellow normal eyes. Intracellular K+ was also significantly decreased and Na+ significantly increased after several relapses of inflammation.
