Endothelial guttata and facility of aqueous outflow

Thirty-eight eyes of 22 patients with corneal endothelial guttata were examined by slit lamp, tonometry, tonography, and wide-field specular microscopy. The mean value for facility of outflow (C55) was 0.23, and it was not statistically different from reported values for a normal population. Also, there was no correlation between extent of guttata as seen with wide-field specular microscopy and facility of outflow. Thus, contrary to a previous report, endothelial guttata does not seem to predispose to impaired facility of outflow.
