Abstract
Most histologic features are consistent with the previous few reports. The remarkable finding in all corneal specimens was a moderate to severe degree of loss of the endothelial cells. This noteworthy finding supports the ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced endothelial cell damage in these patients. This has an important clinical implication when planning for anterior lamellar keratoplasty, as endothelial cell density may be subnormal in these patients.
