AIMS: To report the appearances of @entity53510 and @entity13189 from white light confocal microscopy. METHODS: Seven eyes of four consecutive @entity1 with @entity53510 were prospectively examined. Of the seven eyes, three also had @entity4 ( @entity13189 ). In vivo white light tandem scanning confocal microscopy was performed in all eyes. Results were compared with non-contact specular microscopy. RESULTS: Specular microscopy was precluded by @entity4 in one eye. In the remaining six eyes, it demonstrated typical changes including pleomorphism, polymegathism, and the presence of guttae appearing as dark bodies, some with a central bright reflex. In all seven eyes, confocal microscopy revealed the presence of round hyporeflective images with an occasional central highlight at the level of the endothelium. Changes in cell morphology and size were readily appreciated. CONCLUSION: By comparison with specular microscopy, the hyporeflective images with an occasional central highlight seen on confocal microscopy are consistent with the presence of guttae. Confocal microscopy may confirm the diagnosis of @entity53510 and @entity13189 by demonstrating the presence of guttae. This technique is especially valuable in cases of @entity4 , where specular microscopy may fail to visualise the endothelium. However, specular microscopy should remain the method of choice to evaluate the endothelium, principally because it is easier to use.
