Figure 3 In vivo confocal microscopy findings in amiodarone-related keratopathy. Representative confocal images show numerous hyperreflective intracellular inclusions predominantly within the corneal epithelial layers, consistent with drug-induced phospholipid deposition. These images illustrate the microstructural substrate of cornea verticillata and support the role of confocal microscopy as an adjunctive tool for documenting epithelial involvement in vivo.
