Abstract
The structure and composition of the corneal nerves in health and disease have been extensively studied, however, study of corneal nerve function in living systems has been challenging and limited. Here, we demonstrate non-contact, longitudinal imaging of in vivo murine corneal nerve signaling and in vivo stimulus-response. These developments have the potential to allow for new studies of changes to corneal nerve function in disease and damage, and for better assessment of therapies to treat dysfunction and diminished nerve function.
