Corneal endothelial cell (CEC) loss in glaucoma can be attributed to the direct compressive effect of elevated intraocular pressure. Herein, we aimed to evaluate specular microscopic changes in CEC count and morphology in correlation to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) changes detected by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in early and advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
