Development of Corneal Sensation With Remodeling of the Epithelium and the Palisades of Vogt After Corneal Neurotization

Conclusions: The intimate relationship between epithelium and sensory nerves of the cornea has been well documented; however, changes in the corneal epithelial stem cell niche in conjunction with development of innervation have not previously been reported. Considering the architecture of the corneal nerves in conjunction with the architecture of the POV may assist in developing treatments that can support the regeneration and maintenance of epithelium during nerve regeneration.
