case_images: In vivo confocal microscopy images of both eyes three days after exposure to ultraviolet-C light demonstrating nerve beading (arrows) of the right eye (a) and decreased nerve density with fractured nerve pieces and amputated subbasal corneal nerves (arrows) in the left eye (b).

case_images: Laser IVCM (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3/Rostock Cornea Module, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) of the central cornea was performed and showed beading of the subbasal corneal nerves in the right eye and deceased nerve density with fractured and amputated subbasal corneal nerves in the left eye (Figure 1).
case_images: In vivo confocal microscopy images of both eyes after a twelve-week treatment with autologous serum eye drops showing resolution of nerve beading in the right eye (a) and increased nerve density in the left eye (b).

case_images: Repeat laser IVCM demonstrated decreased beading of subbasal corneal nerves with a total nerve density of 21.6 mm/mm2 in the right eye and nearly doubling to 16.9 mm/mm2 in the left eye (Figure 2).
