  • Title: Corneal endothelial changes following short pulsed laser iridotomy and surgical iridectomy.
    Author: Wishart PK, Sherrard ES, Nagasubramanian S, Kerr Muir MG, Hitchings RA.
    Journal: Trans Ophthalmol Soc U K (1962); 1986; 105 ( Pt 5)():541-8. PubMed ID: 3467505.
    Abstract:
    Pre- and post-operative endothelial specular photo-microscopy was performed on 46 eyes of 29 patients who had been randomly assigned to iridotomy with the Nd:YAG or the dye laser, or to surgical peripheral iridectomy for the relief of pupil block glaucoma. Localised damage to the endothelium was observed in two eyes following Nd:YAG laser iridotomy and in one eye following dye laser iridotomy. No endothelial changes were recognised after surgical peripheral iridectomy. Central corneal endothelial cell densities remained unchanged following all procedures.
