Correlations between corneal biomechanics and specular microscopy in patient with cataract.

This study aimed to analyze the connection between corneal biomechanics (corneal hysteresis, CH) and endothelial cell density of cornea (mean endothelial cell density, MCD) in patients diagnosed with cataract. This retrospective, observational study was performed in the Ophthalmology Clinic of the University Emergency Hospital in Bucharest. Of 60 patients (120 eyes) with cataract, who were included in this study, we analyzed the CH values obtained using with the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and the MCD values obtained using the specular microscopy.
