Abstract:
This study compared corneal nerve beading between Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and healthy controls. Results showed increases in both density and size of nerve beadings in PD, which correlated with disease severity and duration. Corneal nerve beading demonstrated high sensitivity as a potential biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring PD progression.
