Factors related to corneal epithelial complications after closed vitrectomy in diabetics.

In a series of 30 vitrectomy patients, postoperative corneal complications developed in 14 (47%). Thirteen (92%) of the 14 patients with complications were diabetic. Other factors that were positively correlated with the development of corneal complications included decreased corneal sensitivity, intraoperative lensectomy, and intraoperative epithelial debridement. The corneal complications involved the epithelium in 11 (78%) of the 14 complicated cases, with involvement of the endothelium (as manifested by stromal edema) in five (35%) cases. The diabetic human corneal epithelium contains considerable levels of sorbitol and fructose, which indicates the probable presence of the sorbitol pathway. As in the lens, this pathway may lead to osmotic changes that make the diabetic corneal epithelium more vulnerable to damage intraoperatively. Postoperatively, reepithelialization is delayed because of a probable failure of adhesion of cells to the underlying basement membrane.

The human corneal endothelium in keratoconus: A specular microscopic study.

The corneal endothelium in 12 cases of keratoconus was examined with the clinical specular microscope. There appeared to be an increase in cellular pleomorphism with many cells considerably smaller than normal distributed throughout the endothelial cell population. There were also many large, elongated cells whose long axis showed a definite tendency to assume a similar directional orientation. The long axis of these cells seemed oriented toward the apex of the cone, and the cells appeared to have been stretched by the ectatic process. Many endothelial cells contained dark intracellular structures. Their significance is unknown. The single cornea in this series with a history of acute hydrops contained a localized area in which the endothelial cells were seven to ten times larger than normal. This suggests that rupture of the endothelium and Descemet's membrane, responsible for the acute edematous process, occurs at this site, and that the adjacent cells enlarged to fill the defect.
