Study that permits to valuate the influence in the cornea due to the penetration of ammonia. It confirms the fast penetration of ammonia (1 to 3 minutes). The results of pH and ammonia concentration prove that chemical reactions with tissue proteins exist. It opens a research way on the dangerousness of a base by correlating its pK to the proteins density consumed by the base.
