Corneal Mechanical Thresholds Negatively Associate With Dry Eye and Ocular Pain Symptoms.
To examine associations between corneal mechanical thresholds and metrics of dry eye. ⋯ Mechanical detection and pain thresholds measured on the cornea are correlated with dry eye symptoms and ocular pain. This suggests hypersensitivity within the corneal somatosensory pathways in patients with greater dry eye and ocular pain complaints.
