Alkali agents cause saponification of fatty acids in the cell membrane with subsequent destruction of mucopolysaccharides at the same time; they enhance the collagenolysis process causing tissue necrosis and perforation. On the other hand, acidic agents precipitate tissue protein in which they create a barrier to further ocular penetration; an exception to this is hydrofluoric acid1-3. Common causative agents in chemical eye injuries include1: acids such as sulfuric acid, bleach and refrigerants, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid and hydrofluoric acid; alkali, such as ammonia, lye; lime, plaster and mortar, potassium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide.","PeriodicalId":43814,"journal":{"name":"Bahrain Medical Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46540974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
