Core Tip |
Perioperative topical ascorbic acid (AA) was instilled in two patients with low corneal endothelial cell density who were scheduled for cataract surgery. After the surgery, both patients showed improved visual acuity without corneal decompensation. Perioperative topical AA is promising for prevention of corneal endothelial dysfunction in high-risk patients undergoing phacoemulsification; it may be considered as an alternative therapy. |
