Measures corneal sensitivity in human subjects, revealing sensitivity patterns and local variations.
The sensitivity to touch of the cornea is measured using a new corneal aesthesiometer. Thresholds to touch are determined along the vertical and the horizontal meridians of the cornea of two human subjects. The results confirm the well‐known finding that the cornea is most sensitive in its center and the sensitivity decreases towards the limbus. There arc also some local variations among certain areas but more data is needed to confirm whether these differences are statistically significant.
