The present study reveals a significantly greater loss of corneal endothelial cells in a diabetic group under good glycemic control, compared with nondiabetic group 3 months after phacoemulsification. The morphological changes in the endothelial cells in patients with well-controlled diabetes were not reflected in impaired function as judged by CCT.
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.
