Endothelial loss in corneal concussion injury

M C Roberson et al. Ann Ophthalmol. 1985 Aug.

Abstract

A patient who suffered a concussion injury to the cornea from blunt trauma was followed up by means of endothelial photography for seven months. The endothelial cell loss resulting from this injury was almost 50%. Concussion injury to the cornea can cause significant endothelial damage instead of a transient dysfunction.
