Reversal of chronic corneal edema by surgical treatment of ocular hypotony has not been previously reported. Although corneal edema associated with elevated intraocular pressures is well understood, the mechanism by which ocular hypotony contributes to corneal edema and how treatment of ocular hypotony may improve corneal edema should be further explored.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
