Deep-learning based analysis of in-vivo confocal microscopy images of the subbasal corneal nerve plexus’ inferior whorl in patients with neuropathic corneal pain and dry eye disease

To evaluate and compare subbasal corneal nerve parameters of the inferior whorl in patients with dry eye disease (DED), neuropathic corneal pain (NCP), and controls using a novel deep-learning-based algorithm to analyze in-vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) images.
