This publication evaluates the use of high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) to visualize penetration kinetics during the initial phase of chemical eye burns. It demonstrates the potential of HR-OCT for the visualization and direct non-invasive measurement of specific interaction of chemical with the eye. This capacity shows the effectiveness of an active washing solution, Previn® (the German version of Diphotérine®) when compared to not rinsing at all, on a splash due to caustic soda.
