title: [Corneal endothelial cell density and corneal thickness after laser trabeculoplasty].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The evaluation of the influence of laser trabeculoplasty on the corneal thickness and central endothelial cell density.
  
  
  METHODS
  Corneal thickness and central endothelial cell density were measured before and 3 months after laser treatment. Patients were divided into 2 groups with different energy applied: 550-800 mW and 850-1100 mW.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Differences of corneal thickness and central endothelial cell density were not statistically significant neither within nor between the groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laser trabeculoplasty performed with energy up to 1100 mW has no influence on corneal thickness and central endothelial cell density.
