description AIM: To analyze the effects of dual viscoelastic agents DisCoVisc and sodium hyaluronate on corneal endothelium of patients after phacoemulsification and foldable intraocular lens(IOL)implantation.METHODS: A total of 247 patients(285 eyes)with cataract treated in Jingmen Aier Eye Hospital between June 2017 and December 2019 were selected, and they were divided into DisCoVisc group(123 cases, 141 eyes)and sodium hyaluronate group(124 cases, 144 eyes)by random number table method. Both groups were treated with phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation. DisCoVisc and 1.7% sodium hyaluronate were used as viscoelastic agents in DisCoVisc group and sodium hyaluronate group, respectively. The two groups were compared in terms of intraoperative ultrasound time(UST), cumulative dissipated energy(CDE), time for aspiration of viscoelastic agents after IOL implantation, corneal edema at 1d, 1wk, 1 and 3mo after operation, corneal endothelial cell density(ECD)and ECD loss rates before operation and at 3mo after operation, coefficient variation of corneal endothelial cell size(CV), percentage of corneal hexagonal endothelial cells(6A), intraocular pressure, the proportions of patients with uncorrected visual acuity ≥0.5 and central corneal thickness(CCT)values before and after operation at 1d, 1wk and 1mo.RESULTS:There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in UST, CDE, aspiration time of viscoelastic agents(P >0.05)or corneal edema both rate on day 1 after operation(P>0.05). Corneal edema disappeared at 1 wk after operation. The ECD loss rate in DisCoVisc group was significantly lower than that in sodium hyaluronate group at 3mo after operation(P<0.05). Intraocular pressure, the proportion of patients with uncorrected visual acuity ≥0.5 and CCT values showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups before and after operation at 1d, 1wk and 1mo(P >0.05).CONCLUSION: DisCoVisc, as the viscoelastic agent in phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation for patients with Emery-Little grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ lens nucleus hardness, can better protect the patients' corneal endothelium.
