Endothelial cell density in relation to morphology.
Corneal endothelium of 121 normal corneas was studied with the clinical specular microscope, and the relationship between cell density, cell morphology, and age was examined. Our observations indicate a decrease in cell density with age in homomegethous endothelium but no such correlation in a polymegethous endothelium.
