Corneal Endothelial Changes in Patients With Primary Congenital Glaucoma

Conclusions:

Prolonged exposure to elevated intraocular pressure during prenatal and/or early postnatal life results in structural changes in immature infant corneas. Specular microscopic parameters differed significantly between healthy controls and patients with PCG. The type of surgery had no effect on these parameters. Among patients with PCG, those with Haab striae had isolated corneal endothelial cell loss without morphologic changes within the endothelium.
