Corneal endothelial cell density and morphology in normal Iranian eyes

Abstract

Background: We describe corneal endothelial cell density and morphology in normal Iranian eyes and compare endothelial cell characteristics in the Iranian population with data available in the literature for American and Indian populations.

Ten-year follow-up of photorefractive keratectomy for myopia

“…There was a statistically significant difference between pre-operation and 10 years after surgery. Compared to the spontaneous decreasing with age (0.3-0.6%/year), the decreasing rate was slightly high [28][29][30][31][32]. Matsuda et al compared the endothelial cell density between Americans and Japanese [33].…”

The Characteristics of Cornea Endothelium in Senile Cataract Patients with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

“…8,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Bu çalışmada, kataraktlı 50 yaş üstü hastalarda PES'nin SM parametreleri üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirilmiştir.…”

“…12 Snellingen ve ark.,Hindistan, Bangladeş ve Nepal'de yürüttükleri çalışmada, endotel hücre yoğunluğunda etnik farklılık üzerinde durmuşlardır. 20 Bildirilen endotel hücre yoğunluğu arasındaki geniş dağılım, etnik farklılıkların endotel yapısını etkilediğini düşündürmektedir.…”

Analysis of the cornea donor data: an eye bank study

“…Since our mean donor age was lower than those reported in the literature, specular microscopy findings were ideal for transplantation in all of our donors. Some studies investigated gender-based differences in endothelial cell morphology, some of them reporting ECC differences between both genders, but some others not [24,25]. Kartal et al [21] reported that female donors had a greater MCA, while a study from India, reported higher CV in female donors [26].…”
