DOI: 10.1097/ico.0000000000003680
Abstract: Purpose: To assess corneal sensitivity changes in patients with ocular graft-versus-host disease using a non-contact and Cochet–Bonnet esthesiometer. In addition, we evaluate the association between corneal sensitivity and subbasal nerve changes and epitheliopathy in these… read more here.
