Abstract
The corneal endothelium plays a critical role in maintaining corneal clarity. There is an expected decline in cell density with age and disease, and maintaining the health of this cell layer is important as corneal endothelial cells generally are amitotic in vivo. Diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent disease that damages the corneal endothelium. Diabetes causes structural and functional impairments in the corneal endothelium that decrease cellular reserve in response to stress. These effects have implications to consider for diabetic patients undergoing anterior segment surgery, and for corneal surgeons who use diabetic donor tissue and treat diabetic patients. In this review, we discuss the specifics of how diabetes mellitus impacts the corneal endothelium including alterations in cell morphology, cell density, ultrastructure, pump and barrier function, cataract surgery outcomes, and corneal transplant outcomes with attention to the use of diabetic donor tissue and diabetic transplant recipients.
