摘要：
We studied the contralateral eye of ten consecutive patients in whom corneal decompensation had occurred following cataract extraction to detect the beginnings of any corneal disease in that eye. Patients with a previous history of surgery, trauma, or ocular disease were excluded. In the study group, the mean endothelial cell count was 1,852 cells/mm2 and the central corneal thickness was 0.572 mm. A comparable group of control eyes with cataracts demonstrated a mean endothelial cell count of 2,446 cells/mm2 and central pachymetry of 0.514 mm. Patients with corneal edema following cataract extraction should be carefully evaluated for the presence of endothelial dysfunction in the opposite eye. © 1990, American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
