In vivo confocal microscopy showing oblique sections of the human cornea where the epithelium, Bowman’s layer, and the anterior stroma can be observed. (a) Normal cornea without hyperreflective subepithelial deposits, (b) (grade 1) dot-like deposits at the level of Bowman’s layer, (c) (level 2) showing an increase in the density of the hyperreflective dot-like deposits in Bowman layer and superficial stroma, and (d) (grade 3) hyperreflective and nonreflective condensation deposits in the Bowman layer and superficial stroma. Bar = 50 microns.
