Abstract:
Nd:YAG laser iridotomy was performed on 32 eyes of 20 Chinchilla rabbits and fol- lowed-up for 1-4 hours postoperatively to 8 months.Scanning electron microscopy show- ed that the corneal endothelium was dam- aged to various degrees by Nd:YAG laser iridotomy and the impaired areas healed up in 8 months through migration and prolifer- ation of the endothelial eclls.
