Abstract
The endothelial cell density of 44 eyes after an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma is statistically lower than the cellular density of 174 control eyes. The decrease in endothelial cell density increases the risk of edematous corneal dystrophy, more specially after surgery (e.g. cataract extraction). The modifications in corneal endothelial cell density are compared with the alterations of the iris after a crisis of angle-closure glaucoma.Entities:
