[Ocular contusion and cellular density of the corneal endothelium]

Specular microscopy was performed on 24 patients with an history of blunt ocular trauma, after a 2 to 35 months follow up. In 29.1% of the patients, there was a cellular loss greater than 5%. No significant association was noted between cell loss and angle recession. This data should be evaluated in medico-legal examinations.
