Seems like osmotic pressure may have distorted the eyeball. I wonder if they were monitoring intraocular pressures?

From: DMSO Nature's Miracle by Walker 5 mg/kg for 90 days caused refractive index changes but not lens opacity, the animals became slightly nearsighted at a dose 50-100 times that the usual human therapeutic dose. The problem diminished as the dose was reduced. The tests on primates showed none of these effects and seems limited to rabbits, dogs and pigs at high doses. DMSO Nature's Miracle by Walker pp79 "No changes in refraction or translucense of the lens or any other abnormalities were noted in any animal [primates] before, druing or 18 weeks after any drug administration." Dr JC de la Torre, Department of Neurosurgery (r-35), Univeristy of Miami School of Medicine, PI Box 076960 Miami, FA 33101. Reprint available. Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health Vol 7, March 1981 It seems that in extremely high doses for prolonger periods dogs, pigs and rabbits may show some changes. But these dosages are not therapeutic and no such effects were seen in primates or humans. Even the changes in rabbits, known to be very sensitive and therefore the model for such experiments, were only found at very high doses for many months.
