Fluid flow in the NMDG bathing solution was barely detectable and essentially zero. NMDG bathing solution had 34.5 mM Na⁺ and 110 mM N-methyl-D-glucamine. NMDG-HCl replaced NaCl; all other components were the same as in the normal physiological medium. Changes in the capillary levels of the anterior and posterior compartments of these 10 lenses bathed with NMDG were also barely detectable.
