## Abstract The rate of oxygen consumption is an important parameter to assess the physiology of the human cornea. Metabolism of oxygen in the cornea is influenced by contact‐lens‐induced hypoxia, diseases such as diabetes, surgery, and drug treatment. Therefore, estimation of __in vivo__ corneal o
