Abstract

AIM: To reveal the changes of corneal endothelial characteristics with aging among Caucasian population. METHODS: 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. RESULTS: < 0.05) between age and MCA. CONCLUSION: .
