“…Corneal sensory nerve dysfunction may manifest in the form of neuropathic disease, which involves abnormal corneal sensations (including stinging, burning, photoallodynia and pain) in the absence of standard nociceptive signals or clinical findings of corneal disease [337]. Corneal neuropathic pain is typically diagnosed on the basis of corneal somatosensory symptoms in association with evidence of sensory nerve damage, from anatomical or functional tests.…”

Contact Lens and Anterior Eye

A key element of contact lens practice involves clinical evaluation of anterior eye health, including the cornea and limbus, conjunctiva and sclera, eyelids and eyelashes, lacrimal system and tear film. This report reviews the fundamental anatomy and physiology of these structures, including the vascular supply, venous drainage, lymphatic drainage, sensory innervation, physiology and function. This is the foundation for considering the potential interactions with, and effects of, contact lens wear on the anterior eye. This information is not consistently published as academic research and this report provides a synthesis from all available sources. With respect to terminology, the report aims to promote the consistent use of nomenclature in the field, and generally adopts anatomical terms recommended by the Federative Committee for Anatomical Terminology. Techniques for the examination of the ocular surface are also discussed.
