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>Anatomical localization of dendritic cells in relation to nerve fibers at the level of subbasal nerve plexus in the cornea of EDE patients. Yellow arrow indicates dendritic cells impinging or in close proximity to the nerve fibers. Panels shown are representative IVCM images from four EDE patients with frame size 400 × 400 microns at a depth of 50 microns.</div>
