Histological photographs of the cornea. a Bowman’s membrane was completely absent in the middle area of the cornea. The central internal stroma was hypoplastic and the fibers were extremely disarranged without vessels. The endothelium membrane was entirely absent from the cornea. (Periodic Acid-Schiff stain, original magnification × 10). b An abnormal thickness of Descemet’s membrane was present with the “multiple-layer” structures at the peripheral part of the defect. (Periodic Acid-Schiff stain, original magnification × 40). c The “multiple-layer” structures were found in the Descemet’s membrane and pigmented tissues could be found inside the “layers”. (Periodic Acid-Schiff stain, original magnification × 100). d The pigmented cells situated within the cornea stroma and inserted anteriorly with adhesion to the posterior part of the cornea. Absence in Descemet's membrane in the peripheral synechiae area were shown. (Periodic Acid-Schiff stain, original magnification × 100)
