Serial imaging of the corneal endothelium before and after cataract surgery in the left eye (a-f) of Patient 2. Specular microscopy showed changes in endothelial cell density (ECD), coefficient of variation (CV), percentage of hexagonal cells (HEX), and central corneal thickness (CCT) at the following time points.a. One month prior to cataract surgery (OS). b. One month after cataract surgery (OS). c. Four months after cataract surgery (OS). d. Seven months after cataract surgery (OS), i.e. 3 months after topical use of ascorbic acid (OS). e. Nine months after cataract surgery (OS), i.e. 5 months after topical use of ascorbic acid (OS). f. Fifteen months after cataract surgery (OS), i.e.11 months after topical use of ascorbic acid (OS)
