21 using laser scanning confocal microscopy (HRT, Heidelberg, Germany), ECD was found to be significantly reduced in eyes with keratoconus compared to controls (2412.2±339.5 cells/mm 2 and 2845.6±313.0 cells/mm 2 , respectively), but the difference did not reach statistical significance between mild to moderate (steepest K<45 D and 45-52 D) keratoconus (21 eyes) and severe keratoconus (steepest K>52 D) (31 eyes) (2510.6±334.4 cells/mm 2 and 2345.5±331.8 cells/mm 2 , respectively) (p=0.09).
