Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms and Ocular Surface Lesions in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Dry Eye: A Clinical Correlational Study
MNSIQ scores were significantly and robustly correlated with the presence of corneal epithelial defects, MGD, and nerve fiber loss in patients with T2DM. These findings suggest that DPN is a critical factor in diabetic ocular surface complications, highlighting the importance of the MNSIQ for assessing these conditions.
