Endothelial Cell Count Analysis

Endothelial Cell Count is an important measurement to evaluate corneal endothelial cell health when diagnosing and managing different corneal diseases and assessing safety profiles for ocular procedures. Accurate evaluation requires each single endothelial cell to be identified properly. MERIT provides masked, independent ECC reading, as required in many ocular clinical trials.

INDICATIONS

MERIT provides ECC analysis for the following ocular clinical trials:

  • Corneal dystrophies, corneal edemas, keratoconus, etc.
  • Cataract surgery
  • Intraocular Lens (IOL) implants
  • Safety assessment for intravitreal injection (nAMD, DME)
  • Safety assessment for ocular implants (Glaucoma)
  • Safety assessment for eyedrops (dry eye disease, etc.)
