We study the phenomena connected with high concentration of incoming ions emerging during field-assisted migration in otpical glass. We find that ion dynamics are very different at concentrations higher and lower than a certain parameter called the transition concentration. To explain anomalies at high ionic concentrations, we introduce a supplementary local electric field. This field opposes to the field E0 existing in the glass at all concentrations of incoming ions and is connected with a local space charge. We investigate its dependence on concentration and on E0. These effects are studied using a model with concentration-dependent diffusion coefficients and mobilities. We present a method to obtain the concentration dependence of the relevant quantities. Theoretical curves are compared with experimental results measured in usual silicate glasses, during Ag+-Na+ exchanges.
