Glucose forms an important constituent of the tear fluid. Among all the non-ionised sub-stances in tear fluid glucose has attracted most. Variable figures of glucose content[sup] [1]sub in the tear has been given. It has also been observed that the concentration and variations of glucose in tear and blood show some relationship. This relationship of glucose in tear fluid and blood samples have been studied in acute mucopuru-lent conjunctivitis. This co-relation may be effective in determining hyperglycemia by use of diabetic ...
