We also establish for the first time that corneal esthesiometry and CCM have reasonable sensitivity and specificity to detect diabetic patients with minimal neuropathy and those at risk of foot ulceration. |
The diagnosis of congenital corneal anesthesia is a real challenge for ophthalmologists because the typical diagnostic tests, such as Cochet-Bonnet corneal esthesiometry, are often not feasible in young children. |
There exists a sensory culture, which is not generally taken into consideration, but which is a factor in esthesiometry. |
However, because skin biopsy is an invasive procedure, in this study we assessed the utility of two novel noninvasive measures of neuropathy, namely corneal esthesiometry and corneal confocal microscopy. |
