Morphometric stability of the corneal subbasal nerve plexus in healthy individuals: a 3-year longitudinal study using corneal confocal microscopy.
PURPOSE We examined the age-dependent alterations and longitudinal course of subbasal nerve plexus (SNP) morphology in healthy individuals. METHODS Laser-scanning corneal confocal microscopy, ocular screening, and health and metabolic assessment were performed on 64 healthy participants at baseline and at 12-month intervals for 3 years. At each annual visit, eight central corneal images of th...
متن کاملDegeneration and Regeneration of Subbasal Corneal Nerves after Infectious Keratitis: A Longitudinal In Vivo Confocal Microscopy Study.
PURPOSE To investigate the longitudinal alterations of subbasal corneal nerves in patients with infectious keratitis (IK) during the acute phase, cessation of treatment, and the recovery phase by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). DESIGN Prospective, longitudinal, case-control, single-center study. PARTICIPANTS Fifty-six eyes of 56 patients with the diagnosis of bacterial (n=28), fungal (n...
متن کاملMapping the corneal sub-basal nerve plexus in keratoconus by in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy.
PURPOSE To produce a two-dimensional reconstruction map of the living corneal sub-basal nerve plexus in keratoconus with in vivo confocal microscopy. METHODS Four eyes of four subjects with keratoconus were examined by slit lamp biomicroscopy, Orbscan II slit-scanning elevation topography (Bausch & Lomb Surgical, Rochester, NY), and laser scanning in vivo confocal microscopy with the Heidelbe...
متن کاملConfocal microscopy of corneal sub-basal nerve plexus: a quantitative and qualitative analysis in healthy and pathologic eyes.
PURPOSE To validate corneal sub-basal nerve plexus examination by in vivo corneal confocal microscopy. METHODS Five parameters of corneal sub-basal nerve plexus in 250 human eyes (nerve fiber length, number of fibers, number of beadings, branching pattern, fiber tortuosity) acquired using in vivo corneal confocal microscopy (Confoscan 4.0; NIDEK Co Ltd) were analyzed. The first operator repea...
