(B) Fotografia em lâmpada de fenda do olho esquerdo (OS) sem alterações irianas significativas. (C) Microscopia especular do OD mostrando redução da densidade endotelial (2.154 células/mm²), com acentuado pleomorfismo/polimegatismo (baixa hexagonalidade). (D) Microscopia especular do OS com densidade endotelial preservada (2.502,7 células/mm²) e morfologia celular sem alterações relevantes.
