SPECULAR MICROSCOPY

Specular microscopy is an important safety endpoint for many FDA clinical trials to help understand and quantify affects of various pharmaceutical and surgical treatments to the cornea. In clinical practice, this can provide invaluable information as to the health of the cornea that may have been compromised and is not easily assessed by bio-microscopy. Changes to corneal endothelial density and morphology is often considered the "canary in the coal mine" for distress to the cornea... In the never ending battle to minimize the oxygen barrier from contact lens materials and lens hygiene, specular microscopy provides a highly detailed view of the integrity and distress of the cornea from the endothelium. As the "canary in the coal mine", the endothelium can be an invaluable indicator of corneal distress... Most products have a video overview on this website. Webinars are hosted on YouTube and we operate a video-based learning management system.
