Corneal nerves in health and disease [PDF]
Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2019 The cornea is the most sensitive structure in the human body. Corneal nerves adapt to maintain transparency and contribute to corneal health by mediating tear secretion and protective reflexes and provide trophic support to epithelial and stromal cells.

Corneal nerves in health and disease [PDF]
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2014 Corneal nerves are responsible for the sensations of touch, pain, and temperature and play an important role in the blink reflex, wound healing, and tear production and secretion. Corneal nerve dysfunction is a frequent feature of diseases that cause opacities and result in corneal blindness.
