To demonstrate the clinical significance of owl eye morphologic features observed by in vivo laser confocal microscopy in patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) corneal endotheliitis. ⋯ Owl eye morphologic features and highly reflective round bodies observed by confocal microscopy may be useful as an adjunct for the noninvasive diagnosis of cytomegalovirus corneal endotheliitis. Reversibility of these features after resolution of endotheliitis may be useful for monitoring the therapeutic effects without multiple anterior chamber tap.
