Quantitative and Morphological Corneal Endothelial Changes After Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and Retinal Photocoagulation

Conclusions: SLT has measurable effects on both quantitative and morphological characteristics of the corneal endothelium, which seem to be transient. RP has fewer measurable effects, likely because, although the total laser energy is similar, it is delivered over a much longer time (3 ns versus 0.1 s). The changes observed in both procedures are minor and unlikely to be of clinical significance.
