Corneal changes assessed using confocal microscopy in patients with unilateral buphthalmos.

PURPOSE To compare corneal structures in buphthalmic eyes and healthy eyes in patients with unilateral congenital glaucoma using a corneal confocal microscope. METHODS Ten patients with unilateral buphthalmos (mean ± SD age, 14.85 ± 5.12 years) were examined using corneal confocal microscopy. The cell density and cell area of endothelial cells and superficial and basal epithelial cells and th...

episcleral vessels were congested. The histology of the eyes corresponded closely to Rochon-Duvigneaud's excellent description which should be consulted for further details. We were particularly interested to observe whether or not aqueous veins could be found in these eyes, as recent work (Weekers and Prijot, 1950; Greaves and Perkins, 1951) has shown that they are a constant finding in the no...

Buphthalmos over Three Generations.
