Endothelial cell density in donor corneas. 1980

S Sperling

In 68 pairs of donor corneas the endothelial cells were visualized by provoked swelling of the cell borders in isotonic saline. In cornea from donors below 50 years of age numerical cell density was correlated to age. This was not the case in corneas from older donors. The cell densities in paired corneas were correlated. The cell density in the second cornea of a pair was found to be within x +/- 10.97% (+/-1.98SD) of the first cornea. The precision of this estimate could only be improved insignificantly by correction for age, sex, mean cell density or variation of the mean.

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.
