Re: Bouheraoua et al.: Decreased corneal sensation and subbasal nerve density, and thinned corneal epithelium as a result of 360-degree laser retinopexy (Ophthalmology 2015;122:2095-102)

We read with interest the article “Decreased corneal sensation and subbasal nerve density, and thinned corneal epithelium as a result of 360-degree laser retinopexy” by Bouheraoua et al.1 The authors discuss the effects of dense circumferential laser retinopexy on corneal nerves and esthesiometry by comparing patients operated for retinal detachment versus macular hole. There may be a few differences in the groups that should be considered.
