  • a. Male and female subjects of 18 years or older
  • b. One or less positive answers on the SFN\-SIQ
  • c. Written informed consent;Patients (n\<\=200\):
  • Those who are referred to our center for the analysis of possible small fiber neuropathy are eligible for participation in this study.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Healthy subjects (n\=20\)
  • \- Sensory symptoms in hands or feet or known with mono\-/polyneuropathy.
  • \- Known illnesses that can cause neuropathy, like diabetes mellitus, renal failure, alcohol abuse, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, sarcoidosis, and thyroid dysfunction.
  • \- History of diseases of the eye such as dry eyes, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, epithelial membrane basement dystrophies, cystic corneal disorders, which all affect corneal innervation.
  • \- Patients with chronic glycemic exposure since this is a strong risk factor for corneal subbasal nerve loss.
  • \- Use of medication (also in the past) known to possibly cause polyneuropathy.;Patients (n\=200\)
  • \- History of diseases of the eye (such as mentioned above);Participants are excluded from this study when they do not want to be informed about defects or accidental findings which could be found during the pre\-screening of the ophthalmologist.
