ABSTRACT Background: Clarity of the cornea is fundamental for pure vision following cataract surgery including phacoemulsification . The pumping action of corneal endothelial cells acts to maintain this clarity through maintaining the corneal stroma dehydrated, so integrity of this cell layer function is very important for corneal clarity. Aim of the Work: to evaluate endothelial cell layer function before and after phacoemulsification by assessment of changes in density of endothelial cell and corneal volume of central corneal ring of 10 mm diameter. Subjects and Methods: A prospective interventional study was performed during the period from September2019 to December 2019 at …
