Abstract
To evaluate postoperative changes in corneal endothelial cell density, we conducted a retrospective study in 34 patients (35 eyes). Patients underwent extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber lens implantation using an air bubble (23 eyes), sodium hyaluronate (Healon) (6 eyes), or air bubble plus sodium hyaluronate (6 eyes). The endothelial cell density of all eyes decreased from 2496±341 cells/mm2 preoperatively to 1539±371 cells/mm2 1 month postoperatively. The endothelial cell loss rate was 21%, 31%, and 29% in the air bubble, sodium hyaluronate, and air bubble plus sodium hyaluronate groups, respectively (P>.05).
