Corneal endothelial cell density in healthy Caucasian population

To reveal the changes of corneal endothelial characteristics with aging among Caucasian population. Non-contact specular microscopy was performed in 564 eyes of 282 healthy Caucasian Turkish patients. Endothelial cell density (MCD), mean cell area (MCA), coefficient of variation (CV) in cell size, p...

Description
Summary:To reveal the changes of corneal endothelial characteristics with aging among Caucasian population. Non-contact specular microscopy was performed in 564 eyes of 282 healthy Caucasian Turkish patients. Endothelial cell density (MCD), mean cell area (MCA), coefficient of variation (CV) in cell size, percentage of hexagonal cells, and central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured. The mean age was 42±17.1 (6–85) years. The MCD of the population was 2732±305cell/mm2 (range, 1904–3802cell/mm2). The MCA was 368±41m2 (range, 263–522m2). The mean CV in cell size was 34±7 (range, 25–68), the mean percentage of hexagonal cells was 46±8% (range, 25–76%), and CCT was 513±39 (range, 407–623). There was statistically significantly negative correlation (p
