Use of in vivo confocal microscopy for the diagnosis of corneal dystrophies
Keywords:
DeCS, Confocal microscopy, cornea, dystrophiesAbstract
The cornea is the tissue of the eye that provides most of the refractive power. Any disease that alters its morphological characteristics affects vision. This is why the early and successful diagnosis of corneal dystrophies guarantees that patients are treated on time to improve their health and quality of life. Confocal microscopy has become the technology per excellence for the detailed study of the cornea in a non-invasive way.
