CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM DURING UVEITIS

The authors report the results of a prospective study concerning corne al endothelium during uveitis. They compared 65 patients (87 eves) suf fering from uveitis (divided into four groups: anterior uveitis, pars planitis, posterior uveitis, total uveitis) with a control group (36 e ves, same age). The results showed a decrease of the endothelial cell counts in the uveitis group. However this difference was not significa tive (Student test t). There is no difference in the endothelial cell count between each group of uveitis.
