Endothelial changes in human donor corneas.
The corneal endothelium of intact donor eyes was evaluated by means of a specular microscope. In a series of 278 corneas, different morphologic changes were found in the endothelium. These changes are described and systematically classified. The findings are analogous to results obtained on experimental animals and with light- and electron-microscopic studies of other authors.
