Resumen
GUERRA ALMAGUER, Michel et al. Morphometry and morphology of the corneal endothelium. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.
The study of morphological and morphometric parameters of the corneal endothelium in healthy individuals have been the main subject of several research studies at international level in the last few years. The specular microscopy allows us a clear vision of the alive endothelial cells without altering either their function or their morphology; a counting per surface area can be made and to determine whether an alteration exists in the form or the size of the endothelial cell, this is a parameter to be kept in mind to know the functional capacity of the corneal endothelium. An updated search of the published articles in the last ten years was made with the objective of determining the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the endothelial cells in the different studied populations. Infomed platform, particularly the Virtual Library of Health, was used to this end.
