Corneal endothelial cell density after trabeculoplasty.
Central corneal endothelial photographs were taken with a specular microscope. The cell density was calculated with a computerized image analyzer. No difference between the treated and control eyes could be found. The laser energy level delivered in trabeculoplasty seems to be too small to induce any permanent changes in the endothelial cells.
