To establish in a large healthy cohort, dendritiform cell (DC) density and morphological parameters in the central and peripheral cornea using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). A prospective, cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in 85 healthy volunteers (n = 85 eyes). IVCM images of...
