RE: corneal decompensation
Jun 13, 2005 19:35:01 this is what i personally think... bcos the endothelial cells dont regenerate, damage to them can lead to breakdown of the endothelial pump and everything goes haywire. it could happen during surgery, with direct damage from probes, or postoperatively by intraocular remnants. i presume pxs with fuch's dystrophy are high risk. |
