Clinical in vivo confocal microscopy of the human cornea in health and disease

An efficient intelligent analysis system for confocal corneal endothelium images

“…Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome has areas of highly abnormal cells characterised by marked epithelial-like appearance and loss of regularity in size and shape were found. The study [5] confirms that endothelial cells appear as epithelioid-like cells with irregular borders and non-homogenous, diversely shaped nuclei as shown in Fig. 4.c.…”

“…They appear as round lesions containing endothelial cells with surrounding haze, as shown in Fig. 4.d, and appear as a prominent hyper-reflective band lesion at the level of Descemet's membrane [5,19]. It has well-delineated roundish shape (the biggest forms 5.8% and the smallest forms 3.5% of the field of view) with low intensity that closes to black on low intensity background.…”

“…No vessels or nerves are present in this level. Sometimes, the nuclei of the cells may possibly be visualised [4][5][6][7]. Examples of corneal images for stroma and endothelium layers are presented in Fig.…”

Diagnosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis

“…Увеличения приблизительно от 240 до 400° достаточно, чтобы визуализировать и идентифици-ровать нормальные роговичные клеточные компо-ненты и посторонние клетки [52]. К. Winchester и соавт.…”

In vivo confocal microscopy study of climatic droplet keratopathy

“…1,2 We report herein for the first time the study of three patients each with different grades of CDK using in vivo confocal microscopy (iVCM), a technique that has allowed the measurement of normal and pathological corneal components. [3][4][5] Table 1, Figures 1 and 2 summarize the corneal abnormalities found in these patients. Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometry (CBA) demonstrated a decrease of the mechanical sensitivity of the cornea in eyes with grade II and III CDK.…”
