Cornea: Understanding the anatomy of the cornea and the role it plays in vision. Learn some of the common ailments and treatment options.

Corneal nerves were not imaged in the posterior stroma, Descemet's layer, and endothelial cell layer. 4 The authors concluded that confocal microscopy is a suitable method to image corneal nerves.

Normal corneal innervation and cell distribution, as well as changes associated with age, contact lens wear and systemic disease, such as diabetes, can be documented in vivo with this technique.

They also explored the correlation between PGRN and the severity of dry eye and corneal innervation changes caused by type 2 diabetes. In a prospective, single-visit, cross-sectional study, Zhou ...

PARIS — Corneal innervation recovers more quickly after PRK than LASIK, according to a confocal microscopy study presented here. Jay C. Erie, MD, and William N. Bourne, MD, found that neural ...

Corneal sensation recovers sooner than with LASIK, which lifts a large flap of the cornea, damaging many nerves. There are some biomechanical advantages to SMILE, since it uses only a small incision.

Corneal nerves are located in the cornea, the transparent part of the front of your eye. The cornea is involved in the blink reflex, tear production, and wound healing.

Nerve damage and a buildup of immune cells in the cornea may be a sign of "long COVID," a long-term syndrome that emerges in some people after COVID-19 infection, a new study suggests.
