EVALUATION OF THE CORNEA ENDOTEL BY SPECULAR MICROSCOPY IN PERSODOEXFOLIATION SYNDROME

Purpose: The evaluation of the corneal endothelium patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) by specular microscopy (SM). Method: In this prospective study, two groups were formed. our right eye 50 diagnosed material slit lamp biomicroscopy performed in ophthalmology outpatient clinic and control without any health problems included. Results: There was no difference between patient terms gender age distribution. (p >0.005). Statistically, found thickness =0,105). However, coefficient variation, endothelial cell density hexagonal ratio to be statistically significantly groups. Discussion: Serious morphological changes occur PES. Because these endothelium, measurement should done before cataract surgery all who have pes detected their examination.
