Background: In this study were focused on corneal cells changes in keratoconus disease, as there are differences between results of other studies that were done on keratokonic eyes. And the chief purpose was a comparison between keratoconus and normal population based corneal endothelium (in cell density, pleomorphism and polymegethism of cells). Methods: This study is an observational study a...

          This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of anterior keratoplasty    with microkeratome in the improvement of visual acuity (V.A) in superficial    corneal disorders in patients admitted to Labbfi Nezhad hospital and Tehran    Bassir Clinic .         &nbs...
