Specular microscopic studies in two patients with traumatic posterior annular keratopathy demonstrated that the endothelial rings consist of disrupted and swollen endothelial cells. The damaged cells were still evident many days after the rings had disappeared. The amount of endothelial cell loss depends on the severity of the injury, and a measurable decrease in cell density occurs only in the more severely injured patients. A physical explanation for the occurrence of these endothelial rings is discussed.
对两名创伤性后环状角膜病变患者的镜面显微镜研究表明，内皮环由破裂和肿胀的内皮细胞组成。在环消失许多天后，受损细胞仍然明显。内皮细胞损失的量取决于损伤的严重程度，只有在损伤更严重的患者中才会出现可测量的细胞密度降低。本文讨论了这些内皮环形成的物理学解释。
