Technology Spotlight: Examining the Corneal Endothelium: Focus on Specular Microscopy
A vast amount of information about the eye can be gathered through a slit-lamp exam conducted by an Ophthalmologist. Each layer of the cornea can be examined through a focused slit beam of light, and the light path can be angled and reflected off the iris to illuminate the endothelium. In doing so, the Ophthalmologist can single out the epithelium, stroma or endothelium for close examination. In this manner, a myriad of deposits on the endothelial layer can be picked up, including guttae that may indicate Fuchs’ corneal dystrophy, a Krukenberg’s spindle suggesting pigmentary dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma, and keratic precipitates (KP) that point towards uveitis. However, in addition to direct slit-lamp visualization of the endothelium, the Ophthalmologist also has access to specular microscopes that enable a magnified, direct view of the endothelium.
