Ultrastructure of the Posterior Corneal Stroma

Barring an anchoring zone of interwoven collagen fibers at the Descemet-stroma interface, the findings did not provide any evidence for the existence of a distinctive acellular pre-Descemet's stromal layer in the human cornea. The intrastromal cleavage plane after pneumodissection seems to be nonreproducibly determined by the intraindividually and interindividually variable distances of keratocytes to Descemet's membrane.
