In Vivo Confocal Microscopic Evaluation of Previously Neglected Oval Cells in Corneal Nerve Vortex: An Inflammatory Indicator of Dry Eye Disease
2021-12-29
Abstract excerpt
To investigate association of a type of previously neglected oval cell that located in corneal vortex with dry eye disease (DED). Observational, prospective study of 168 patients with different degrees of DED.
