Age was associated with increased cellular polymegethism and pleomorphism in normal human corneal endothelium, with no significant differences between right and left eyes.
Observational
Normal baseline parameters for corneal endothelial morphology change with age, which may help detect early pathology before cell density decreases.
Human endothelial morphologic changes were quantitated by specular microscopy and computer-assisted morphometry to establish normal baselines of various morphologic parameters. Cellular polymegethism and cellular pleomorphism increases with age, and normal baseline parameters are detailed. Furthermore, no significant difference in any morphologic parameters between the right and left eye and between central and peripheral endothelium was detected in the normal corneas examined. These normal morphologic baselines can possibly be utilized to detect early corneal endothelial pathology and/or cell loss nondetectable by cell density measurement.
Yee et al. (Tue,) conducted a observational in Normal corneas. Age was evaluated on Endothelial morphologic changes (cellular polymegethism and pleomorphism). Age was associated with increased cellular polymegethism and pleomorphism in normal human corneal endothelium, with no significant differences between right and left eyes.
