From: A review of the application of in-vivo confocal microscopy on conjunctival diseases
Representative in-vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) images for young and elderly individuals. a Conjunctival microcyst detected in a 64-year-old subject, manifested as a large, oval-shaped structure with hyperreflective contents and surrounded by a hyporeflective ring. b Conjunctival microcysts detected in a 71-year-old subject, manifested as dark round vacuoles in various size with or without hyperreflective granules (arrows). c Conjunctival epithelium of a 27-year-old subject. Goblet cells are scattered at a high cell density, whereas conjunctival microcysts are absent. d Conjunctival epithelium of a 74-year-old subject, showing lower density of goblet cells
