The Biologic Character of Donor Corneal Endothelial Cells Influences Endothelial Cell Density Post Successful Corneal Transplantation

The Biologic Character of Donor Corneal Endothelial Cells Influences Endothelial Cell Density Post Successful Corneal Transplantation

Purpose: Corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) gradually decreases after corneal transplantation by unknown biologic, biophysical, or immunologic mechanism. Our purpose was to assess the association between donor corneal endothelial cell (CEC) maturity in culture and postoperative endothelial cell...
