- Ocular hypertension (lntraocular Pressure (IOP) \> 21 mmHg) in the operative eye at the baseline exam;
- Corneal abnormality that results in a poor endothelial cell photograph and prevents reliable endothelial cell density measurement;
- Baseline endothelial cell density \< 1500 cells/mm2, in the operative eye;
- Planned multiple procedures during cataract/Intraocular Lens (IOL) implantation surgery (e.g., trabeculoplasty, corneal transplant). NOTE: A minor relaxing keratotomy
