“…The cell area was greater than that described by RODRIGUES et al (2006), and similar to that found by NAGATSUYU et al (2014). Hexagonality percent values were higher than those reported by NAGATSUYU et al (2014), but similar to those found by PIGATTO et al (2008). The differences between the means found in the present study and those found by ROBERTS et al (2006) are assumed to be due to the differences between the methods used and the breeds studied.…”

Ocular surface diseases are often diagnosed in brachycephalic dogs. The ophthalmic parameters of the Shih Tzu dogs are evaluated in this study since this breed is among the most commonly affected by these diseases. In this study, ophthalmic parameters of this breed de 0,490±0,007mm. À flaremetria a "laser",720±0, 16,118±0,460mmHg. As médias e os erros padrão, à ultrassonografia, foram de 20,255±0,134mm para diâmetro axial horizontal; de 6,624±0,031mm, para

“…Due to the fact that there is no cellular retraction and it can be used in animals and living humans, specular microscopy is considered the gold standard technique for assessing the corneal endothelium in people and animals (MORITA, 1995;ABIB & BARRETO, 2001;PIGATTO et al, 2006;PIGATTO et al, 2008;FRANZEN et al, 2010;BERCHT et al, 2015;ALBUQUERQUE et al, 2015;COYO et al, 2016). Specular microscopy has also been employed in the evaluation of dogs undergoing cataract removal surgery (NAGATSUYU et al, 2014). Specular microscopy is a widely used tool in many researches, and been demonstrated to be extremely reliable, and reproducible.…”

“…Endothelial layer is of fundamental importance in maintaining the transparency of the cornea and changes in endothelial cells can occur due to aging, eye diseases, drugs or intraocular surgery. Specular microscopy is among the most reliable techniques for analysing the corneal endothelium (ABIB & BARRETO, 2001;NAGATSUYU et al, 2014). Normal endothelial parameters have already been established in some species using a specular microscope, including: humans, sheep, dogs, monkeys, horses, cats, and others (ABIB & BARRETO, 2001;ANDREW, S. et al 2001;PIGATTO et al, 2006;PIGATTO et al, 2008;FRANZEN et al, 2010;BERCHT et al, 2015;COYO et al, 2016;TERZARIOL et al, 2016).…”

Furthermore, specular microscopy is beginning to be used as part of the ophthalmic examination before and after cataract removal procedures in dogs (NAGATSUYU et al, 2014).…”

Corneal endothelial cell density and morphology in rabbits’ eyes using contact specular microscopy

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The goal of this study was to describe the normal values of corneal endothelial cell density and hexagonality in healthy rabbits’ eyes using contact specular microscopy. Both eyes of 18 rabbits, males and females, of different ages were evaluated. The eyes were divided into three groups of 12 each according to the age range of the animals: G1 (6 months old), G2 (12 months old), and G3 (48 months old). Parameters studied included mean endothelial cell density and hexagonality. For Group I, the mean cell density was 2307 cells per mm2. For GII, the mean cell density was 1895 cells per mm2. For G III, the mean cell density was 1818 cells per mm2. Cell density decreased significantly with aging (P<0.001) among the three groups. Pleomorphism in the rabbits of GI was 74.33±10.08. In the rabbits of GII it was 71.83±11.38. In the rabbits of GIII it was 64.02±28.80. Significant differences (P<0.001) were evident between GI and GIII and GII and GIII but not between Groups I and II. The results showed a decrease in number of cells and hexagonality with aging. Corneal endothelium of rabbits suffers changes due to advancing age both in terms of cell density and morphology.

Morphology of endothelial cells from different regions of the cornea of dogs

et al. 2018

The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphology of endothelial cells from different areas of the cornea of dogs. Twenty healthy eyes from 10 dogs, females or males, of different ages were studied. Corneal endothelium morphology of superior, inferior, central, nasal and temporal areas was assessed by 0.2% alizarin red staining using an optic microscope. One hundred endothelial cells from each corneal area were analyzed. In all areas of the cornea studied were found endothelial cells with four sides, five sides, six sides and seven sides. There was no significant difference regarding endothelial cell morphology in all corneal regions evaluated. Thus, the morphology of the central cornea area represents the entire endothelial mosaic and may be applied to peripheral areas. Therefore, analysis of the central area is sufficient to estimate the shape of endothelial cells of peripheral areas of healthy dog corneas.

Non-contact specular microscopy in aphakic and pseudophakic dogs

Abstract: Cataract is one of the most common ocular diseases in dogs, and phacoemulsifi cation is considered its treatment of choice. Posterior capsular opacity (PCO) is a frequent complication and may occur weeks or months after the surgery. It is known that intraocular lenses (IOL
