The central and peripheral corneal response to short‐term hypoxia
Short-term unilateral eyelid closure resulted in ~55% more relative oedema in the limbal region compared to the central cornea. Rapid recovery of oedema and corneal overshoot (thinning beyond the baseline corneal thickness) was observed within 1-2 min of eyelid opening for both central and peripheral regions.
