In Vivo Corneal Confocal Microscopy for Non-invasive Assessment of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Completed

Conditions studied: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

In brief

Clinical in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is a relatively new technique of corneal evaluation that permits non-invasive imaging of corneal structures on the cellular level. Precise anatomic characterization of corneal structures, including corneal nerves, can be rapidly performed with high resolution.
