| Summary: |
Purpose: To determine, whether the myopia could has an influence on corneal endothelium morphology.
Material and methods: Patients' age was from 13-th to 18-th years. Lens wearers and patients with external eye diseases and ocular surgery in the history, were excluded. The endothelium was imaged by non-contact microscope Topcon SP-2000P. The following parameters were examined: corneal thickness, corneal endothelial density, mean cell area of endothelial cells, coefficient of variation of cell size.
Results: There were no significant differences in the corneal thickness among various degrees of myopic refractive error. Endothelial cell density ( ECD ) decreased in eyes with high myopia, but it not correlated either with corneal thickness nor with axial length of eyes. There was correlation between average cell area ( AVG ) and the degree of
myopia. |
