nottingham.ac.uk Aims To comprehensively study the gross anatomy of human corneal innervation. Methods Twenty-one specimens, including 12 normal human corneas from seven deceased patients, two ...

In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is able to demonstrate the characteristic corneal and conjunctival anatomy in vivo at the cellular level. Normal corneal innervation and cell distribution ...

The ophthalmic nerve supplies sensory innervation to the structures of the eye, including the cornea, ciliary body, lacrimal gland, and conjunctiva. It also supplies nerves to the part of the ...

Complete ophthalmic examinations, tear film function tests and Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometry were conducted to assess the effects of the surgeries on the corneal nerves and tear function. Morphological ...

There may also be a small level of sympathetic corneal innervation. This high sensitivity explains why even slight compromise can result in symptoms. When corneal nerves are stimulated so is tear ...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) had correlations with symptoms and signs of dry eye disease.

Future research in neural influences of sub-basal nerves on the corneal surface may consider investigating if nociceptive thresholds have been reduced in these cases of chronic post-LASIK dry eye ...

Description: The cornea is the most densely innervated tissue on the body’s surface. The acquisition of nerves by the cornea during embryonic development is highly regulated. Past work in the lab ...

“The cornea is the windshield of the eye,” said ... Kuragenx stimulated re-epithelialization, re-innervation and stromal regeneration so the structure and physiology of wounded corneas ...
