摘要: Purpose: This study aimed to observe corneal subbasal nerves and Langerhans cells (LCs) using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) in patients with dry eye, a tool for the evaluation of disease stage and severity and for treatment monitoring at the microstructural level. Methods: A total of 107 eyes from 62 patients were included. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire and other examinations were used to assess dry eye symptoms and signs. IVCM was performed to observe subbasal corneal nerves and LCs. Corneal …
