Specular microscopy is a diagnostic modality for imaging the corneal endothelium that allows for direct observation of the endothelial cell morphological characteristics either in a clinic or eye bank setting. Endothelial imaging using a specular microscope is routinely used in the assessment of endothelial health in various endothelial diseases, evaluation of the donor cornea prior to keratoplasty and postoperative follow-up after keratoplasty. A PubMed search was done using the keywords specular microscopy, corneal endothelium and endothelial imaging and appropriate references were included in the citation.

The specular light reflex with the slit lamp is a routine method of evaluating corneal endothelium in the clinics. The term Specular reflection refers to a situation, where the angle of the reflected beam of light makes an ...
