Abstract Corneal thickness measurements and endothelial cell counts were carried out in 34 patients undergoing treatment for glaucoma with 4% pilocarpine gel between 18 to 78 months after initiation of therapy. The corneal thickness and endothelial cell population were found to be within normal limits in all cases except two, one patient with increased corneal thickness who had recently undergone cataract and glaucoma filtering surgery and another patient with decreased cell count who had an old endothelial scar sustained prior to pilocarpine gel therapy. There was a very close correlation for both of these parameters noticed in patients treated with pilocarpine gel and in age-matched control group of patients with glaucoma. The present study has shown that there are no adverse corneal effects with pilocarpine gel therapy.
