Research Abstract |
Longest diameter and dimension of limbal basal cells were evaluated using in vivo confocal miscroscope (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 2 Rostock Corneal Module) for patients with Harada disease. Sixteen eyes of nine patients were included. Average age was 51, 13 eyes with men, 3 eyes with women. Longest diameter and dimension of limbal basal cells in patients with Harada disease were 16.1um and 135um2, respectively. It was suggested that limbal basal cells in Harada disease were larger than in normal eyes because of destruction of melanocyte in limbal niche.
