Abstract: Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a non-invasive, simple and rapid visual corneal imaging technique, which can directly conduct real-time collection and quantitative analysis of corneal nerve fibers. Studies have shown that CCM can be used in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of degenerative diseases, demyelinating diseases, degenerative diseases and other types of diseases of the central nervous system. In this paper, the recent advance in CCM in neurological diseases is summarized to provide new ideas for their diagnosis and prognosis evaluation.
