Neurotrophic Keratopathy (NK) refers to a condition where corneal epitheliopathy leading to
frank epithelial defect with or without stromal ulceration (melting) is associated with reduced …

The optical sectioning ability of confocal microscopy allows high magnification images to be
obtained from different depths within a thick tissue specimen and is thus ideally suited to the …

Distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DPN), particularly chronic sensorimotor DPN, represents
one of the most frequent complications of diabetes, affecting 50% of diabetic patients and …

Importance Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is an important feature of transthyretin familial
amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP). A practical and objective method for the clinical …

We report a rapid reduction in blink reflexes during in vivo ocular Pseudomonas aeruginosa
infection, which is commonly attributed and indicative of functional neuronal damage …

Laser refractive surgeries reshape corneal stroma to correct refractive errors, but
unavoidably affect corneal nerves. Slow nerve regeneration and atypical neurite …

Purpose: To show that noninvasive in vivo corneal confocal microscopy (IVCM) can make
more accurate imaging of the corneal subbasal nerve plexus possible. This diagnostic …

Background The cornea is innervated with a rich supply of sensory nerves that play
important roles in ocular surface health. Any injury or pathology of the corneal nerves …

Our aim was to compare regeneration of the sub-basal nerve plexus (SBNP) and superficial
nerve terminals (SNT) following corneal epithelial injury. We also sought to compare …

Objective: To assess the effects of a short period of orthokeratology (OK) on corneal sub-
basal nerve plexus (SBNP) morphology and corneal sensitivity. Methods: Measurements …
