[The state of corneal endothelium after cataract extraction as examined by contact endothelial microscopy].
The central area of the corneal endothelium was examined in 130 patients after an intracapsular extraction of a senile cataract without implantation of an intraocular artificial lens, with implantation of an anterior chamber artificial lens and after an extracapsular extraction of senile cataract with implantation of a posterior chamber artificial lens. The authors used the endothelial contact microscope Copper Vision with an endothelial cell counter from MLC Technologies. The mean proportional loss of the corneal endothelial cells for the 1st group after 1 month amounted 11.6%, after 6 months from operation 13.0%; for the 2nd group after the 1st month 15.0%; for the 3d group after 1 month 13.5% and after 6 months 17.0%.
