“…As shown in our viscosity measurements the destruction of hyaluronate, a glycosaminoglycan present in tears and eye tissues [14,49], can be prevented by the addition of iodide to the hyaluronate solution before irradiation with UVB light. An increasing positive influence of iodide was seen with doses from 0.1 to 5 mM KI.…”

“…The interaction of all these components produces a stable tear film as needed by the anterior part of the eye. Hyaluronate, a component of the mucous layer of tear fluid and of tissues of the anterior part of the eye [14,49], is degraded upon irradiation with UV light [18,35]. In this process, the macromolecule is degraded to fragments of low molecular weight.…”

Iodide protects hyaluronate, a component of tear fluid and tissues of the anterior part of the eye, against UVB light-induced degradation. Also, injury of human conjunctival cells can be prevented by incubation with iodide before UVB irradiation. The mechanism of protection is likely to include an antioxidative reaction. To support the natural defence mechanisms of the eyes, the administration of an antioxidant such as iodide to artificial tears, for example, may help to prevent the damage of the eye provoked by oxidative stress.

“…LG glandular cells was clearly demonstrated (Allen et al, 1972;Yoshida et al, 1996;Gargiulo et al, 2000). This suggests that sulfate masking could explain the absence of sulfate staining (Spicer and Duvenci, 1964).…”

Zusammenfassung.In dieser Ubersicht wird die Geschichte des Kurorts Bad Hall, der Gehalt an Ionen and Elementen in der Jodsole and die biologische sowie die therapeutische Wirkung des Heilwassers besprochen. Besonders wird auf die Wirkung des jodhaltigen Wassers bei der Therapie verschiedener Augenerkrankungen eingegangen. Studien werden diskutiert, bei denen eine Verbesserung der Sehscharfe, der Farbwahrnehmung, der Kontrastempfindlichkeit and eine Verzogerung der Kataraktentwicklung nach Jodsole-Therapie beobachtet wurden. Besondere Erwahnung finden die Therapien des trockenen Auges mittels Iontophorese mit Jodsole sowie die Bespruhung mit einer Ol-in-Wasser-Emulsion.Schlusselworter: Jodsole-Therapie, Auge, Uberblick, Bad Hall Iodine brine-therapy from the ophthalmological and internal medicine viewpoint. 150th anniversary of Landeskuranstalten, 55th anniversary of Paracelsus-Institute, 50th anniversary of Department of Ophthalmology Bad Hall Summary. In this review the history of the spa Bad Hall, the content of ions and chemical elements in the iodine brine, and the biological as well as the therapeutical effect of the water is discussed. Especially the effect of the iodine containing water for the therapy of different eye diseases is reported. Studies showing the improvement of visual acuity, the colour perception, the contrast sensitivity and the capability to delay cataract development by a therapy with iodine brine are discussed. Especially the therapies of the sicca syndrome by iontophoresis with iodine brine and with an oil-in-wateremulsion spray are mentioned.
