Corneal tomography and endothelial cell density after Paul glaucoma implant surgery

Key Points

Endothelial cell density remained stable post-PGI surgery, with minor declines in peripheral regions.
Central cell density did not change significantly within the first year after surgery.
Corneal astigmatism and pachymetry showed no progressive changes after PGI surgery.
PGI's effect on cell loss was less than previously observed with other glaucoma drainage implants.

Abstract

PGI surgery did not induce progressive changes in corneal astigmatism or pachymetry during the first postoperative year. Central ECD remained stable, while paracentral and peripheral regions showed a moderate decline. PGI did not increase the rate of endothelial cell loss and the observed reduction was lower than previously reported for other glaucoma drainage implants.
