Ascorbic acid transpo in cornea is mediated by
Metabolism of Cornea *Main Metabolic pathway: Aerobic *Ascorbic acid transpo: Na K ATPase > Myoinositol *Cornea becomes edematous due to lactate accumulation that happens during hypoxic conditions such as prolonged contact lens use. *Oxygen is derived from environment & glucose from aqueous humor. *Vitamins and amino acids are also provided by the limbal cappilaries
