“…The figure shows grade 4 polymegathism and pleomorphism and a cell count estimate of 1,700 cells per square millimeter. In 1986 MacRae et al 5 found that polymegathism lasted an average of 4.3 years after discontinuing PMMA lens wear. However, considerable reorganization will occur rapidly by using materials that offer an increase in oxygen.…”
Corneal endothelial polymegathism and pleomorphism can decrease with properly prescribed and monitored overnight corneal reshaping lenses over some standard contact lenses.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
