Figures & data

Figure 1.  Corneal endotheliitis, ciliary infection, diffuse corneal stromal edema, folds in Descemet’s membrane, and small pigmented keratic precipitates (KPs) before treatment.

Figure 3.  Scan images of the central cornea of both eyes were captured by microscopy 3 months after onset. Six-sided cells were lost and endothelial cell density was 392–612/mm2 in the affected eye (a) and 2433/mm2 in the contralateral eye (b) (75–84% decrease). Central corneal thickness of the affected eye was 610 µm and higher than that of the contralateral eye.
