| Summary: |
Purpose: The aim of
this paper is to present corneal layers of healthy
individuals with a confocal laser scanning
ophthalmoscope (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph/ Rostock
Cornea Module).
Material and methods: We analyzed 40 corneas of
20 healthy individuals and measured corneal thickness
and thickness of corneal layers. We also describe cell
characteristics of each layer.
Results: In the outer endothelium 846 cells/mm2
were observed. In the medium endothelium 5000 cells/mm2
and in the inner endothelium about 9000 cells/mm2 were
noted. 34 Langerhans cells/mm2 in the centre and 92
Langerhans cells/mm2 were present. The mean keratocyte
nuclei count in the stroma was 355/mm2. In the
endothelium we noted a mean of 2960 cells/mm2. Our data
are similar to data obtained by histopathological
findings.
Conclusions: HRT II cornea module is a
noninvasive, rapid and repeatable instrument that
enables not only measurement of corneal thickness but
also the exact cell count. It can be an important tool
in diagnosis and evaluation of treatment of various
corneal diseases. |
