Abstract: The adult corneal endothelial cells (CEC) could not take self-renewal.The circumjacent cells enlarge and migrate to fill the vacancy after trauma.A normal endothelial cellular density and morphology are pivotal to maintain a normal corneal structure,transparency and refractive index.Traumas,surgeries and some metabolic problems may lead to irreversible results.In this review,the CEC morphological parameters,CEC function and redistribution in a variety of the situation were comprehensively reviewed.Hope it would provide a reference for the treatment of ocular diseases and the judgment of surgical prognosis.

Key words: Corneal endothelium cells, Cellular morphology, Refraction, Density, Trauma
