  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We examined the corneal endothelial cells by specular microscopy in 3 patients with schizophre-nia preliminary to cataract surgery. The patients were aged 48, 84 and 62 years. Schizophrenia had been present for 26, 30 and 40 years respectively. Corneal edema was absent in all the eyes. The first two patients showed a decrease in endothelial cell density and in the rate of hexagonal cells. The third patient showed almost normal endothelial cell appearance. We failed to identify the exact cause of endothelial damage in our patients. Two patients underwent eventual cataract surgery. We advocate particular care to avoid corneal endothelial damage during cataract surgery for patients with decreased endothelial cell density.
