Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Corneal Endothelial Cell Loss

    Percentage of corneal endothelial cells lost 1 month after surgery as compared to the number of corneal endothelial cells measured before surgery. Corneal endothelial cells are measured by counting the number of cells on an image taken by specular microscope.

    1 month after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Percent Gain in Corneal Thickness.

    1 week and month after surgery

  • Aqueous Signs - Corneal Edema

    1 day after surgery

  • Aqueous Signs - Aqueous Flare

    1 Day after Surgery

  • Aqueous Signs - Aqueous Cells

    1 day after surgery

  • Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

    1 day after surgery

  • +3 more secondary outcomes
