CARDENAS DIAZ, Taimi; HERNANDEZ LOPEZ, Iván; COMPRES ALVAREZ, Ileam  e  PERERA MINIET, Elianne. Endothelial parameters and corneal edema in cornea guttata patients undergoing cataract surgery. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.2, e739.  Epub 01-Jun-2020. ISSN 0864-2176.

Objective:

Determine the relationship between the severity of corneal edema in cornea guttata patients undergoing cataract surgery considered to be at no risk or low risk for postsurgical edema in terms of cell density, and endothelial microscopy parameters.

Methods:

A descriptive prospective study was conducted of 42 cornea guttata patients considered to be at no risk or low risk for postsurgical edema in terms of cell density, who underwent cataract surgery performed by the same surgeon at Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from April 2016 to December 2017. Corneal edema severity was determined and related to cornea guttata grade and endothelial microscopy parameters.

Results:

Of the patients studied, 52.4% were aged over 70 years and 64.3% were women. Edema was not observed in 54.8% in the first 24 hours, whereas it was mild in 26.2% and minimum in 19.0%. Grade 3 cornea guttata and low presurgical risk prevailed. However, no differences were found in relation to polymegethism and pleomorphism.

Conclusions:

At seven days, corneal edema severity in cornea guttata patients undergoing phacoemulsification is not associated to polymegethism or presurgical polymorphism, but it as associated to the presurgical endothelial count.
