A key element of contact lens practice involves clinical evaluation of anterior eye health,
including the cornea and limbus, conjunctiva and sclera, eyelids and eyelashes, lacrimal …

As the cornea is densely innervated, its nerves are integral not only to its structure but also to
its pathophysiology. Corneal integrity depends on a protective tear film that is maintained by …

Purpose: To quantify the discomfort over time of various eyelid cleansers against Demodex.
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, controlled, crossover, open-label study that …

Purpose: The current study describes corneal nerve morphology using in vivo confocal
microscopy (IVCM) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who were followed up for 6 years …

Purpose Neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) is a degenerative disorder of the cornea
characterized by decreased sensory innervation, epitheliopathy, and impaired epithelial …

The altered activity generated by corneal neuronal injury can result in morphological and
physiological changes in the architecture of synaptic connections in the nervous system …

Purpose To investigate the effect of age on wound healing after small incision lenticule
extraction (SMILE) and the underlying metabolomic mechanisms. Methods This prospective …

AIM To investigate the association between tear film break up time (TBUT) and blinking
interval in visual display terminal (VDT) users. METHODS Nine hundred and thirty VDT …

High-fat/sucrose diet feeding in mice causes loss of corneal nerve function and impairs
corneal wound healing. While changing to a diet with a low fat/sugar composition and …

Background: The human cornea is the most densely innervated tissue, and the corneal
sensitivity is a measure of its function and an indicator of the integrity of the protective …
