Age-related Changes of the Corneal Endothelium in the Hispanic Elderly Population

Abstract: Purpose: To assess the corneal endothelial morphometry in healthy elderly Hispanic eyes. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional, observational, descriptive, and analytical study was designed to assess the central region of the corneal endothelium by specular microscopy. A total of 241 eyes from 125 patients were studied. All eyes included were from healthy patients 65 or older (mean: 74.56± 6.74), without ocular di… Show more

“…Our participants with healthy eyes and patients with POAG were comparable in terms of mean age, therefore age was excluded as a confounding factor, since POAG is usually seen at an older age and is associated with simultaneous age-related endothelial cell loss [ 22 ].…”

“…This process generates reactive stress shockwaves with amplitudes ranging from 80 to 150 atm [24,25] Krueger et al [26] have described that in the human cornea, the effect of these shockwaves behind the cornea is linear to the uence used, and peaks around 100 atm at 7 to 8 mm behind the corneal endothelium. With this amplitude, shockwaves reach the corneal endothelium, lens, and anterior vitreous with enough energy to induce corneal endothelial cell loss and lens protein alterations [26][27][28][29].…”
