- Abstract
Purpose: To compare the corneal endothelial protective effects of two different dispersive viscoelastics used in phacoemulsification surgery (sodium hyaluronate % 3 [Endocoat®] and chondroitin sulfate % 4.0 - sodium hyaluronate % 3.0 combination [Viscoat®]). Material and methods: The study was comprised of two groups of patients : Both groups 1 and 2 were composed of 40 eyes of 40 patients on which Endocoat and Viscoat were used during phacoemulsification, respectively. Endothelial cell count (ECC) of all patients was measured at postoperative days 1 and 30. The changes in ECC at postoperative day 30 from baseline were compared between the two groups. Results: The preoperative mean ECCs were 2397±410 cells/mm² in the Viscoat group and 2325±410 cells/mm² in the Endocoat group. The mean ECC decreased by 297 cells/mm² (a 12.3 % loss) in the Viscoat group and by 343 cells/mm²(a 14.7 % loss) in the Endocoat group at postoperative day 30, as is illustrated.There was no statistically significant difference in ECC change at postoperative day 30 between the two groups( p=0.21). Conclusion: The corneal endothelial protective effects of sodium hyaluronate % 3 (EndocoatR) and the combination of chondroitin sulfate 4.0% and sodium hyaluronate % 3.0 (ViscoatR) during the phacoemulsification were similar.
