The corneal quality control (QC) in eye banks is essential for the assessment of the quality of grafts. In the first part, we showed on 505 consecutive corneas, that the parameters measured by our image analyzer Sambacornea (size CV and hexagonality of endothelial cells) were entirely consistent with those measured by specular microscopy in vivo in patients. Our device provides a reliable validated method for the measurement of the Endothelial Cell Density ECD and cell morphometry. In a second part, we analyzed the inherent errors of the fixed-frame counting method (calibrated grid or graticule) for corneal ECD in eye banks. We measured in 3000 areas, the 20 corneal mosaic ECD using grids ranged from 50 to 300 µm. The method was repeatable ...
