Confocal microscopy of corneal nerve plexus as an early marker of eye involvement in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Purpose: To measure the thickness and length of corneal nerves and the peri-papillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients recently diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods: Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients recently diagnosed with type 2 DM and 22 eyes of 22 healthy individuals were consecutively enrolled. Central corneal sensitivity was measured using a Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometer, and corneal nerve length (CNL) and thickness (CNT) were evaluated through in vivo confocal microscopy.

Role of Lamellar Hole-Associated Epiretinal Proliferation in Lamellar Macular Holes.

Purpose: To compare the morphologic and functional characteristics and response to surgery of lamellar macular holes (LMHs) with and without lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP) and standard epiretinal membrane (ERM).

Design: Retrospective observational case series.

Methods: Setting: Vitreoretinal clinical practice.
