History of Changes
  Purpose

Cataract surgery is known to cause loss of corneal endothelial cells. In adults, it is reported that anywhere between 2 to 15% loss of corneal endothelial cell density occurs following cataract surgery. However, no data is available regarding endothelial changes after cataract surgery with IOL implantation in pediatric eyes.

The aim of this study is to prospectively observe changes in endothelial cell density, coefficient of variation and hexagonality following cataract surgery with IOL implantation in pediatric eyes.


Condition Intervention

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Corneal endothelial morphology [ Time Frame: preoperatively to 3 months postoperatively ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change in corneal endothelial cell density, (CD), coefficient of variation (CV) and % of hexagonality (6A) were studied from preoperatively to 3 months postoperatively


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in central corneal thickness [ Time Frame: preoperatively to 3 months postoperatively ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change in central corneal thickness from preop to 3 months postop was studied
