Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 240552 0
endothelial cell density.The Noncon Robo Pachy Model SP-9000LC specular microscope (Konan Medical Corporation, Miyanishi-cho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan) was used to record the central corneal endothelial image and measures the corneal thickness. A KSS-300 Image Storage System (Konan Medical Corporation, Miyanishi-cho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan) was used to capture and save the image from the Noncon Robo specular microscope. The KSS-300 Image Storage System was later used to analyze the corneal endothelial image, using the centre method after counting a minimum of 10 cells in each eye.

Summary
Brief summary
This study is to evaluate the effect of a drug that decreases the growth of immature blood vessels that cause complications in the eye due to some diseases like diabetes. Its effect has been studied on the deep layers of the eye when injected in front of the retina, but this study evaluates its potential toxicity on the front side of the eye when injected just behind the cornea.
