The exposed surface of new glass eye protheses becomes rough and is destroyed in use. The changes in the exposed surfaces have been demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy and with thin sections under optical microscopes. The alteration process depends on the length of time the artificial eye is worn. The main cause is chemical attack of the glass surface in the tear fluid, which is usually slightly alkaline. Chronic conjunctival inflammation, appearing after a long period of wearing the same artificial eye, may be caused by mechanical irritation from the surface roughness.
新型玻璃义眼的暴露表面会变得粗糙并在使用中受损。通过扫描电子显微镜和光学显微镜下的薄片已证实了暴露表面的变化。这种变化过程取决于佩戴义眼的时间长短。主要原因是泪液对玻璃表面的化学侵蚀，泪液通常呈弱碱性。长时间佩戴同一副义眼后出现的慢性结膜炎症，可能是由表面粗糙度引起的机械刺激所致。
