Abstract
Purpose:
Corneal endothelium cell density evaluation in refractive surgery.
Material And Methods:
The corneal endothelium cell measurements by means of specular microscopy before PRK as well as, 1 month and 12 months after PRK procedures in 62 eyes have been performed.
Results:
No statistically significant difference was found comparing corneal cell density before and after photorefractive keratectomy procedures.
Conclusion:
The excimer laser radiation used for correction of refractive errors is safe for corneal endothelium.
