Summary

Our study is a comparative study, that was conducted to evaluate the corneal endothelial cells changes and central corneal thickness after uncomplicated phacoemulsification and intra ocular lens (IOL) implantation in normal controls, in non-diabetic and diabetic patients with PEX, and in patients with PEX only using specular microscopy.

Detailed description

Our study is a comparative study that included 4 groups (controls, patients with PEX, non-diabetic patients with PEX, diabetic patients with PEX) to evaluate the corneal endothelial cells changes and central corneal thickness after uncomplicated phacoemulsification and intra ocular lens (IOL) implantation using specular microscopy, over a 6 months follow up period.

Conditions

• Pseudoexfoliation

Interventions
