Changes in Corneal Thickness and Corneal Endothelial Cell Density after Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery
- Conditions
- Age related cataract is a leading cause of visual impairment,considered a global health burden,responsible for over 47% of blindness worldwide. Surgical intervention is usually the treatment of choiCataract,phacoemulsification,corneal endothelial cell density,corneal thickness
