Abstract:
In order to interprete the significance of the vacuolation found in the corneal endothelium, flat preparations of the corneal endothelium were made in human eyes aged from neonate to 72 year. The result were as follows. 1. The endothelial vacuoles were more frequent with the increase in the time of the post-mortem delay. 2. The endothelial vacuoles were more prevalent in aged. 3. The vacuoles in the endothelium were more easily formed in the peripheral area than the central area. 4. Gross vacuolation found in the corneal endothelium was shown to be the result of post mortem degeneration.
