A Novel Algorithm for the Evaluation of Corneal Nerve Beadings by in vivo Confocal Microscopy in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

A Novel Algorithm for the Evaluation of Corneal Nerve Beadings by in vivo Confocal Microscopy in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

PurposePeripheral neuropathy could complicate diabetes mellitus (DM). In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is an ocular examination for the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathies and the detection of the earliest corneal sub-basal nerve plexus (SBP) alterations. Corneal SBP characteristics include foca...
