The observation of corneal endothelium after phacoemulsifi-cation with two different incisions

Objective: To compare the different effects in comeal endothelium with intraocular lens implantation after 3.2 mm clear corneal small incision or hard PMMA intraocular lens implantation after 5.5 mm sclera tunnel incision. Methods : Observe the density and morphology of corneal endothelium preoperatively and postoperatively with Noncon-ROB6000 (Japan) . Results : There were no significant differences in the density and morphology of corneal endothelium at postoperative 1 month, 2 months and 3 months with two different incision ( P 0.05); there are no significant differences of the demage in corneal endothelium of different time with the two operation through statistical anlyses ( P 0.05 ) . Conclusion : It is swift and reliable for Phacoemulsification with clear corneal small incision and do not deecrese the injury strength of corneal endothelium.
