Endogenous and exogenous ocular and systemic silver deposition

W H Spencer et al. Trans Ophthalmol Soc U K (1962). 1980 Apr.

Abstract

The ocular distribution of particulate silver after prolonged ingestion and the topical application of an organic silver compound (argyrol) are described and compared with the distribution after long-term occupational contact with refined silver. The deposits appear to be inert and to cause no functional visual deficit.
