title: Cornea: confocal microscopy.
abstract: The confocal microscope opens a whole new window in early diagnosis of ocular conditions. Previously, details at the cellular level could only be viewed with conventional microscopes in a laboratory setting. By using confocal microscopy, results can now be obtained instantaneously in the living human eye. This non-invasive high magnification technique provides real-time images of cornea morphology.
