Fig. 1

The representative corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) image of corneal nerve fibers in healthy control (a ~ d) and Parkinson’s disease (e ~ h) patients. In CCM, the corneal nerve plexus is beaded, linear homogeneous and highly reflective (a, e). Parkinson’s disease patients showed decreased corneal nerve fiber density (f), increased corneal nerve branch density (g) and corneal nerve fiber length (h) as compared with control group (b, c and d respectively). For a clearer illustration, nerve fiber trunks were highlighted in red line (b, f), branch origins were represented by the green dots (c, g) and corneal nerve fiber lengths shown in blue line (d, h)
