“In vivo confocal micrographs of the clear cornea showing the corneal stroma at the central and peripheral regions”. Caption: a Keratocytes in the central cornea were hyper-reflective spindle- or osteoblast-shaped with a uniformly dark background. b Keratocytes in the peripheral cornea with a cellular morphology similar to those in the central part, but some needle-shaped hyper-reflective deposits (arrow) could be identified in the background. c Keratocytes could hardly be discriminated and the reflection of stromal fibers was increasingly bright from the corneal stroma to scleral fibers
