N europathy is a frequent complication of diabetes and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, potentially affecting distal sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves. Sequelae of diabetic neuropathy (DN) include foot ulceration, which can lead to the devastating consequence of lower limb amputation. Accurate and timely detection, characterization, and quantification of DN are critical in order ...

There are many studies exploring corneal sensitivity as a potential marker of diabetic neuropathy. This review aims to explore association between corneal sensitivity and diabetic neuropathy. In diabetic neuropathy, corneal sensitiv...
متن کاملCorneal nerve tortuosity in diabetic patients with neuropathy.
PURPOSE Corneal confocal microscopy is a reiterative, rapid, noninvasive in vivo clinical examination technique capable of imaging corneal nerve fibers. Nerve fiber tortuosity may indicate a degenerative and attempted regenerative response of nerve fibers to diabetes. The purpose of this study was to define alterations in the tortuosity of corneal nerve fibers in relation to age, duration of di...
متن کاملCorneal Confocal Microscopy as a Measure of Diabetic Neuropathy
Distal symmetric polyneuropathy is the most common pattern of nerve injury in patients with diabetes (1,2). In fact, up to 50% of patients with diabetes will develop distal symmetric polyneuropathy at some point during their illness (3). Currently, the only effective treatment to prevent this prevalent condition is glucose control (4). Unfortunately, demonstrating an improvement in neuropathy o...
