Which is the most accurate method of testing corneal sensation?
  1. Corneal topography
  2. Corneal esthesiometry
  3. Corneal pachymetry
  4. Corneal staining
Explanation
Answer: B - Corneal esthesiometry is the most accurate method of testing corneal sensation.

An esthesiometer is an instrument that is used to measure the corneal sensitivity quantitatively in terms of mm of Hg. The cotton tipped applicator method is more commonly used, but is only a qualitative one that only tells whether the corneal sensation is present or absent.
