Following the keratoplasty, histopathological examination of the excised corneal button showed a vacuolated and thinned epithelial cell layer, disturbed collagen bonds, Descemet's membrane irregularities, and endothelial cell layer loss (Figures 1 and 2).
The image of the same corneal specimen at high magnification (x400). The thin-walled cystic vesicles are seen on the outer (epithelial) surface of the cornea. 180 x 135 mm (300 x 300 DPI).
