Determination of excised cornea viability is of interest for transplant-storage evaluation, but also for in vitro diffusion-study design and ocular-toxicity assessment. By using simultaneous vital staining by calcein AM (CAM) and ethidium homodimer-1 (EH-1), as "live" and "dead" probes, respectively, we developed a confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) assay to determine epithelial and endothelial viability and estimate cornea thickness.
