The specular photomicrographic appearance of cornea guttata is described in both donor material and in patients. Furthermore, an analysis of endothelial cell density in patients with cornea guttata is presented and compared with cell density in the normal population in the same age group. The mean endothelial cell size in 16 eyes with cornea guttata was significantly larger than in 20 normal eyes of persons between 70 and 79 years of age.
