Abstract
Using an in vitro fluorophotometric technique, we studied the effect of postmortem storage duration on the endothelial barrier function of porcine corneas. A marked decay in endothelial barrier function was demonstrated that correlated with duration of storage. This decay appears to be nearly complete after 2 weeks of storage. This loss of barrier function correlated grossly with ultrastructural changes demonstrated on scanning electron microscopy.
