Abstract:Aim:
To characterize the regional variations in corneal epithelial cell density and morphology using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM).
Methods:
Corneal imaging (IVCM) at 10 locations was performed; corneal apex (i.e., the center), immediately anterior to the corneal nerve whorl (i.e., slightly inferior to the apex), and four quadrants (superior, nasal, inferior, and temporal) both at 1.5 mm and 4.5 mm from the corneal apex (corresponding to 3 mm centr… Show more
