Neuropathology and sensitivity in the keratoconic cornea
Corneal touch threshold (CTT) was investigated by aesthesiometry in patients with keratoconusq with and without contact lens wear. Using a matching control group it was established that CTT was significantly higher for the central corneal position in keratoconus. No difference inCTT was found in …

The effects of Nd:YAG laser cyclophotocoagulation on corneal sensitivity, intraocular pressure, aqueous tear production and corneal nerve morphology in the canine eye
Corneal ulceration with prolonged healing following Nd:YAG laser cyclophotocoagulation in dogs is a frequent complication. It is hypothesized that these corneal ulcerations may be a form of neurotrophic keratitis due to laser-induced damage to corneal innervation. Fifteen clinically normal dogs had …

Retrobulbar neurolytic ethanol injection for the treatment of end-stage canine glaucoma
… (STT), intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, corneal touch threshold (CTT), anterior and posterior segment examination, and fluorescein staining. Subjects were sedated and administered a retrobulbar block with bupivacaine, followed by retrobulbar injection of ethanol or saline solution. At …
