| Description |
Patients with peripheral neuropathy or trigeminal nerve injury are at risk for developing neurotrophic cornea, which may lead to corneal epithelial erosions, corneal ulcers and permanent visual loss. New methods of quantifying corneal innervation in vivo using confocal microscopy may aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of new treatments for peripheral neuropathy. |
