Corneal Sensitivity Test
Corneal Sensitivity Test is a diagnostic procedure available at Desai Eye institute to assess the responsiveness of the cornea to touch or stimuli. This test helps detect nerve damage, reduced corneal sensation, or conditions such as neurotrophic keratitis, diabetes-related nerve dysfunction, and post-surgical corneal changes.
During the procedure, a fine cotton thread, nylon filament, or specialized instrument is gently touched to the cornea. The patient’s reaction, including blinking or sensation feedback, helps determine the level of corneal sensitivity. A reduced response may indicate nerve impairment or underlying eye conditions.
The test is quick, taking just a few minutes, and is completely painless. At Desai Eye institute, our specialists use this test to accurately diagnose corneal nerve function and recommend appropriate treatment for better eye health.
