The specular microscope was used to study the corneal endothelium in three patients with essential iris atrophy and three patients with anterior mesodermal disorders with uncertain diagnose. Pleomorphic and enlarged endothelial cells were found to be typical for essential iris atrophy. The changes were also present in one eye with normal pressure. In the patients with other types of iridal disorder the endothelial cells were normal in form. In one of these patients high intraocular pressure and surgery had seemingly led to enlargement of the endothelial cells. According to our findings, the specular microscope is a useful aid differentiating essential iris atrophy from other disorders of the iris.
使用镜面显微镜对3例原发性虹膜萎缩患者和3例诊断不明的前中胚层疾病患者的角膜内皮进行研究。发现多形性和增大的内皮细胞是原发性虹膜萎缩的典型表现。在一只眼压正常的眼睛中也出现了这些变化。在其他类型虹膜疾病的患者中，内皮细胞形态正常。在其中1例患者中，高眼压和手术似乎导致了内皮细胞增大。根据我们的研究结果，镜面显微镜有助于鉴别原发性虹膜萎缩与其他虹膜疾病。
