Acute transient corneal endothelial changes following selective laser trabeculoplasty

Abstract

To report for the first time acute transient corneal endothelial changes following selective laser trabeculoplasty. Design: Observational case series at a tertiary referral ophthalmological centre in the United Kingdom (Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge) Participants: Ten consecutive routinely treated patients. Methods: Baseline measurements of corneal specular microscopy, endothelial cell counts and in vivo confocal microscopy were performed prior to routine selective laser trabeculoplasty treatment. Repeat measurements were made approximately 1h later and at a 6-week follow up. Main Outcome Measures: Endothelial in vitro laser confocal microscopy, specular microscopic endothelial cell coun..
