Abstract:
·Corneal confocal microscopy can be used in the real-time, noninvasive, high-resolution corneal structure at the cellular level, which has been widely used in corneal disease research. This review summarizes recent advances in corneal confocal microscopy in the study of infectious keratitis, dry eye, keratoconus, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and clinical studies to guide corneal transplantation.
