Abstract
Objective To study the emulsified silicone oil droplets in the corneal endothelium by in vivo laser confocal microscopy, compare and summarize its characteristics. Methods The corneas of 20 patients (20 eyes) with silicone oil emulsion were examined by in vivo laser confocal microscopy, analyzed the characteristics of the images, and summarized the performance of emulsified silicone oil droplets in corneal endothelium with confocal microscopy. Results Emulsified silicone oil droplets in the corneal endothelium had a different size and arrangement, embedded in the corneal endothelium and come al endothelial cells associated with increased edema; endothelial cell structure was unclear, with only vague outlines. Conlulusions New type of laser corneal confocal microscope can observe the corneal endothelium damage by emulsified silicone oil drops directly. The inspection is a harmless, can be repeated and continuous observation of corneal endothelial changes in the tools. The laser corneal confocal microscope plays an important role on the assessment of silicon emulsion oil droplets on the cornea in the damage. Key words: Laser confocal microscopy; Emulsified silicone oil; Corneal endothelium
