Using computer assisted morphologic analysis of central corneal endothelial specular micrographs, we prospectively examined the effects of glaucoma laser procedures on the corneal endothelium. Argon laser trabeculoplasty was performed in 22 eyes of 17 patients. Argon laser iridotomy was performed in 14 eyes of seven patients. Untreated fellow eyes in ten patients undergoing laser trabeculoplasty were used as controls. After one year, no statistically significant difference in cell area, percent hexagonal cells, or shape factor was observed. Our results suggest that argon laser procedures do not pose any long-term hazard to the corneal endothelium.
利用计算机辅助的中央角膜内皮镜面显微镜图像形态学分析，我们前瞻性地研究了青光眼激光手术对角膜内皮的影响。对17例患者的22只眼进行了氩激光小梁成形术。对7例患者的14只眼进行了氩激光虹膜切开术。将接受激光小梁成形术的10例患者的未治疗对侧眼作为对照。一年后，在细胞面积、六边形细胞百分比或形状因子方面未观察到统计学上的显著差异。我们的结果表明，氩激光手术不会对角膜内皮造成任何长期危害。
