Corneal Endothelial Assessment After Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

Corneal Endothelial Assessment After Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

our primary aim of the work to assess the effect of phakic IOL implantation on corneal endothelium. we also used the specular microscope to assess the corneal endothelium

Inclusion Criteria:

• Our inclusion criteria include: adults 18-35 years of age, myopia ˃ 6 D , anterior chamber depth (ACD) 2.85 mm or greater , an endothelial cell count of ≥ 2000 cells/mm2 and stable refractive history within 0.5 diopter for 1 year.

Exclusion Criteria:

• anterior chamber depth from endothelium < 2.85 mm, previous or current systemic or eye disease , surgery or trauma, pregnancy and nursing.
