Corneal Dendritic Cell Density Is Associated with Subbasal Nerve Plexus Features, Ocular Surface Disease Index, and Serum Vitamin D in Evaporative Dry Eye Disease

<div>Morphological assessment of corneal subbasal nerve plexus. (a) Subbasal nerve plexus morphology as seen in a raw IVCM image. (b) Automated analysis of (a) using CC metrics software version 1.0 (University of Manchester, UK). “1” indicates the main nerve fibers highlighted in red. “2” denotes nerve fiber branches in blue. “3” as shown as green dots indicates branch points. Panels shown are representative IVCM images with frame size 400 × 400 microns at a depth of 50 microns.</div>
