Abstract
The routine use of mitomycin C to enhance glaucomatous filtering surgery has found wide acceptance. Complications of the application of mitomycin C have been repeatedly noticed. We now report a previously undescribed complication showing a toxic effect of mitomycin C to the corneal endothelium.Keywords
