Microscopie confocale et pathologies de la surface oculaire : corrélations anatomo-cliniques

The HRT II in vivo confocal microscope facilitates the study of both central and peripheral ocular surface epithelia compared to first-generation confocal microscopy devices. In vivo confocal microscopy, showing corneal and conjunctival epithelial structures in the live eye at the cellular level, is likely to open up a new promising way to investigate ocular surface involvement in complex diseases, providing a new insight on corneal and conjunctival disorders in the future.
