The Effect of Irrigating Solution on the Corneal Endothelial Structures during Phacoemulsification

Purpose: To determine the effects of BSS Plus? and Optiplus? irrigating solution on the corneal endothelium in patients undergoing phacoemulsification with posterior chamber lens implantation. Methods: The study comprised 42 eyes irrigated with BSS Plus? and 37 eyes irrigated with Optiplus? solution. Cell density of the corneal endothelial cell, coefficient variation of the cell area, hexagonality, and central corneal thickness were measured. Results: There was no significant difference between the two solutions in their effect on corneal endothelial cell density, coefficient variation of the cell area, hexagonality, and central corneal thickness postoperatively after one day, one month, and two months (p>0.05). Conclusions: There were no differences in the effects of BSS Plus? and Optiplus? on the measured parameters of the corneal endothelium over the first two postoperative months.
