[Injuries of the corneal endothelium].
Examples of "endogenous" or direct and "endogenous" or indirect endothelial trauma are presented. Corneal contusion, McCannel suture, YAG laser iridectomy, congenital luxation of the lens, and chronic over wearing of contact lenses all cause traumatic changes. The etiology and effects of these changes are discussed. Specular microscopy of the corneal endothelium permits good clinical control of both the trauma and wound healing.
