Abstract This cross-sectional study assessed corneal nerve parameters in 53 participants—17 high-risk for Parkinson’s disease (PD), 18 PD, and 18 healthy controls. Corneal nerve density and length were highest in controls, intermediate in high-risk, and lowest in PD (p = 0.004, p = 0.020). Corneal sensitivity was paradoxically highest in the high-risk group (p = 0.02). These findings suggest corneal hypersensitivity may precede structural nerve degeneration in prodromal PD.
