Extraction of Iron from the Rabbit Anterior Chamber with Reverse Iontophoresis

Figure 1

Anterior segment photographs. (a) RI experiment cathode electrode and the eyecup. The cup is placed around eye cornea, and Ag/AgCl electrode is inserted into the eyecup to provide the cathode current for RI experiments. (b) The normal rabbit eye with smooth and transparent cornea, and transparent anterior chamber in the control group. (c) Immediate image after anterior chamber iron foreign body model. The anterior chamber was brown, and oozing around the pupil was observed. (d) 24 h after anterior iron foreign body model, there were conjunctival hyperemia, corneal edema, large bullous keratopathy, and rust-colored pigmentation, and the anterior chamber was brown. (e) Six days after modeling with 0 mA current RI. (f) Six days after modeling with 0.4 mA current RI.
