Purpose: To assess the association between anterior chamber depth and endothelial cell loss after phacoemulsication
Material and Methods: Ninety patients were recruited for this comparative type of observational study who were further divided into 3 groups
according to anterior chamber depth (ACD). All patients underwent phacoemulsication procedure and intraocular implantation. Postoperatively
endothelial cell loss (ECL) was calculated by measuring percentage decrease in endothelial cell density of central cornea and regression coefcient
between ACD and ECLwas assessed in each group.
Results: Endothelial cell loss was signicantly higher in shallow anterior chambers to other groups and the association between ACD and ECLwas
signicant only in shallow anterior chamber depth group.
Conclusion: Eyes with shallow anterior chamber depth are at higher risk for endothelial cell damage and shows an association between ACD and
ECLwhen compared to deep anterior chamber depth.
