Evaluation of the relationship between dry eye syndrome severity and corneal sensitivity
Corneal sensitivity decreases in dry eye disease and is negatively correlated with disease severity. Subjective symptoms increase with disease progression and show a positive correlation with severity. The absence of significant differences between the advanced stages suggests that neuropathic mechanisms and subbasal nerve plexus deterioration play a role in chronic and late-stage dry eye disease.
