The corneal endothelium examination involves the analysis of corneal endothelial cells regarding their number, density, shape and area. It is conducted with the use of a specular microscope, typically by non-contact method. It is painless and non-invasive. The examination is usually performed in the case of suspected corneal damage or disorders, and before cataract surgery, since it estimates a potential risk of corneal edema after the surgery.
