Corneal imaging techniques used for corneal dystrophies diagnosis and follow up include: optical coherence tomography, endothelial and confocal microscopy. In this part of the course we would like to describe different optical coherence tomography modalities and compare time and spectral domain OCT in visualization of the corneal deposits accumulated in the corneal dystrophies. We also would like to present the analysis of corneal morphology in vivo by confocal microscopy as well as describe the characteristic features of each corneal dystrophy in the histopathologic examination.
