The corneal endothelium and central corneal thickness in pigmentary dispersion syndrome. 1986

W J Murrell, and Z Shihab, and D W Lamberts, and B Avera

The corneal endothelial cell count and central corneal thickness of 20 eyes of patients with pigmentary dispersion syndrome and 20 age-, sex-, and refractive error-matched control eyes were investigated in a masked fashion with a specular microscope and a pachometer. Despite the existence of glaucoma and different degrees of pigment dispersion with Krukenberg's spindles, there was no significant difference in the central corneal endothelial cell density and central corneal thickness between these two groups.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
