| Purpose: To measure corneal sensitivity and tear function in neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) and to compare them with age and sex-matched controls.Methods: Twenty patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), 20 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), 30 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), 10 patients with Friedreich's ataxia (FA) and 21 patients with epilepsy (EP) who were recruited from the Kırıkkale University Neurology Department during 2012 were included in this prospective study. Five groups of age and sex-matched subjects were selected as controls. Corneal sensitivity was measured using a Cochet–Bonnet esthesiometer. Tear function tests included tear break-up time (TBUT) and Schirmer's 1 tests.Results: Compared to their controls, mean corneal sensitivity was significantly reduced in AD, MS, PD and EP patients (all p < 0.05), mean TBUT level was significantly shorter in patients with AD and MS … |
