Abstract

Precis: Specular microscopic parameters were found to be decreased in patients with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). Patients with PCG and Haab striae had lower endothelial cell density (ECD) and central corneal thickness (CCT) than those without Haab striae did. The type of surgery (viscogoniotomy, viscotrabeculotomy, or combined viscotrabeculotomy and trabeculectomy) did not affect specular microscopic parameters.
