DES is common in patients with diabetes, especially in cases of neuropathy, and is associated with reduced corneal sensitivity. Hypoaesthesia of the cornea reduces patient symptoms. |
| Lv H, et al [18] (2014) | Meta-analysis and review on the changes of tear function and corneal sensitivity in diabetic patients. | The sensitivity of the cornea was lower in diabetic patients than in the control group, suggesting worsening of the lacrimal functions in these patients compared to the control group. |
