Abstract:
The use of the specular microscope as a noninvasive in vivo method of identifying cholesterol crystals in two cases of crystalline corneal deposits is described. This illustrates the advantage of using the specular microscope under living conditions with a much higher magnification than is obtained with the slit lamp. Attention is drawn to the wider applications of this method.
