Corneal endothelial cell density in twins.
Corneal endothelial cell density was measured in normal subjects and in a group of monozygotic and dizygotic twins. Cell density was found to decline with age and to be similar in right and left eyes in normal subjects. Both monozygotic and dizygotic twins were found to have very similar mean endothelial cells densities and particularly so in like-sided eyes.
