The cornea is the most sensitive structure in the human body. Corneal nerves adapt to
maintain transparency and contribute to corneal health by mediating tear secretion and …

In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is becoming an indispensable tool for studying corneal
physiology and disease. Enabling the dissection of corneal architecture at a cellular level …

Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a degenerative disease characterized by corneal sensitivity
reduction, spontaneous epithelium breakdown, and impairment of corneal healing. Several …

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 …

A renewed interest in the characteristics and neural basis of corneal and conjunctival
sensations is developing in recent years due to the high incidence of discomfort and altered …

PURPOSE: To compare changes in the corneal wavefront aberrations after photorefractive
keratectomy and laser in situ keratomileusis. METHODS: In a prospective randomized study …

AIM To analyse the human corneal stroma in extreme hydration to discover if its structure is
responsible for corneal stability. METHODS Corneas in several hydration states were used …

PURPOSE:: To study and correlate corneal sensation in patients with herpes simplex
keratitis (HSK) with density and morphologic features of subbasal corneal nerves by in vivo …

Aims: To describe the optics of in vivo confocal microscopy, its advantages over previous
methods, and to summarise the literature that arose from its use for the observation of the …

purpose. An alteration in corneal innervation has been described in dry eye associated with
diabetes mellitus, contact lens use, and LASIK. The purpose of this study was to evaluate …
