This study dealt with the hitherto unresolved question of the validity of the objective method of assessing corneal sensitivity. Objective measurements were made monitoring the eye blinks while the subject simultaneously reported whether or not he felt the stimulation. A remarkably high correlation was found between objective and subjective measurements in the corneal periphery and a slightly less high one, in the corneal center, thus providing strong support for the use of the objective method in clinical and animal research.
