title: [Corneal sensibility in 57 black Africans. A study based on 113 biomicroscopically normal ocular globes (author's transl)].
abstract: This study of the corneal sensitivity in 57 sahelian black Africans with a biomicroscopically normal cornea demonstrated that most of them (80,8 p. 100) had a normal corneal esthesia. The others (19,2 p. 100) having an hypoesthesia are older than the average age of this group and have a lower sociocultural status.
