High-altitude effect on corneal endothelial cells and prognosis in patients with cataract surgeries: a propensity score matched analysis
The relative hypoxic environment of the plateau does not promote the apoptosis of corneal endothelial cells, but may lead to the compensatory increase of their functions. In plateau patients, no significant associations are found between the poor VA and the corneal endothelial functions early after cataract surgeries.
