Observational study of a corneal dystrophy family with confocal microscope
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 9
Abstract
[Objective:] To observe and study the corneal in patients of family with granular corneal dystrophy by confocal laser scanning microscopy. [Methods:] The corneas of 4 patients (6 eyes) with granular corneal dystrophy were scanned by laser confocal microscopy, and the results were compared with those observed by slit lamp and ordinary microscope. [Results:] The image were gray and white bread-crumb-like opacity under the slit-lamp of cornea in patients of family with granular corneal dystrophy, were eosin-stained granules deposited between stroma layers in hematoxylin-eosin (HE) stain under the microscopy, were high reflective masses under the confocal laser scanning microscopy, which fused with each other. [Conclusion:] The image of the corneal in patients of family with granular corneal dystrophy were clearer and clearer by from Slit Lamp and microscopy to the confocal laser scanning microscopy. The distribution of sediments was consistent with each other. It can be a good understanding of the development of the disease.
