[On the aesthesiometrie of the cornea (author's transl)]. 1976

J Draeger, and A Koudelka, and E Lubahn

Based especially on the studies of v. Frey, the anatomical, physiological and methodical fundamentals of aesthesiometrie of the cornea are considered and an electromagnetic instrument for the quantitative reproductable aesthesiometrie of the cornea is introduced. With this instrument it is shown by using various sizes of tactile probes, that the threshold value of the corneal sensitivity does not primarily depend on the size of the tactile probe, but mainly on the applied pressure. Moreover, the threshold of corneal sensitivity was measured at seventeen different points and a topographical description of the sensitivity conditions elaborated.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
