Abstract

Purpose : To describe the corneal endothelial cell characteristics and the risk factors for endothelial cell loss after phacoemulsification performed by residents in an ophthalmology Center in Mexico City.

Methods : We reviewed the clinical records of 112 eyes of 84 patients who underwent cataract surgery by an ophthalmology resident under the supervision of an experienced surgeon from March 2016 through August 2016. The endothelial cell density (ECD), percentage of hexagonal cells, endothelial cell area (ECA), coefficient of variation (CV), and central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured preoperatively and 3 months after surgery with a noncontact specular microscope Nike CEM-530. The variables examined to assess the risk for corneal endothelial cell loss postoperatively were patient age, cataract grade (LOCS classification), pha...
