Purpose
The aim of this study was to describe the corneal endothelial morphology of healthy Saudi
children aged 7–12 years and investigate variations on the basis of age and sex.
Participants and methods
In this prospective study of 412 healthy children, one eye was examined of each child. The
endothelial cell density ( ECD), percentage coeffi cient of variation (CV), and cell hexagonality
( Hex) were determined using a noncontact Nidek CEM 530 specular microscope. An unpaired
