The incidence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes is increasing worldwide. Diabetic
peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is among the most distressing and costly of all the chronic …

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the structure, neurochemical content, and
functions of corneal nerves, with special emphasis on human corneal nerves. A revised …

The anatomy of the human corneal innervation has been the subject of much investigation;
however, a comprehensive description remains elusive. The purpose of the present study …
