Abstract
Corneal specular photomicrography was used to determine the effects of posterior chamber phacoemulsification and secondary anterior chamber lens implantation on the corneal endothelium. Posterior phacoemulsification caused little additional cell loss over that associated with intracapsular cataract extraction, in contrast to previous findings with anterior chamber phacoemulsification. Secondary intraocular lens implantation using the Kelman anterior chamber lens usually resulted in minimal additional endothelial cell loss.
