摘要: Objective:  To evaluate the applicability of in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) veterinary ophthalmology and analyze morphology living, healthy cornea. Animals examined:  Thirty-seven dogs, 34 cats five birds. Procedure:  Various corneal sublayers were visualized central region using an microscope (HRTII/RCM®). Results:  An investigation method was developed adapted for use on animals with varying skull forms eye positions. Real-time images epithelial cells, stroma endothelial layer obtained. The stromal nerve trunks subepithelial basal plexus visualized. In full thickness (FCT) 585 ± 79 µm (mean SD) cell density (ECD) 3175 776 cells/mm2 SD). cats, FCT 592 80 ECD 2846 403 cells/mm2. There no significant differences between canine feline morphologic could be seen dogs cats. bird revealed a number structural differences. Conclusion:  Noninvasive IVCM allows accurate detection sublayers, pachymetry, innervation various animal species. For clinical usage, patients must under general anesthesia. provided anatomic reference structures birds.
