| Summary: | The sensitivity of the cornea elicits one of the most defense reflexes of the human body. Now modern microprocessor technology has succeeded in developing a highly sensitive apparatus for quick and quantitatively reproducible measurement of corneal sensitivity. Some of the many topics concerned are: differential diagnosis and control of thecourse of herpetic diseases of the cornea; reinnervation following surgical intervention in the anterior section of the eye; effects of various beta-blockers on the cornea; basic questions of tolerance and adaptive quality of contact lenses; and the dimensions of damage caused by glaucoma, elucidated by the direct correlation between disturbed sensitivityand stage of the glaucoma. |
