title: Specular microscopy of epithelial downgrowth.
abstract: Specular microscopy in a case of pathologically proved epithelial downgrowth demonstrated a characteristic pattern of cell borders in the area of the epithelial downgrowth. This noninvasive clinical test may prove to be helpful in the early diagnosis of epithelial ingrowth following various intraocular surgical procedures.
