Biomicroscopy of the Eyes in Evaluation of Nutritional Status. Corneal Vascularization1

R. K. Anderson and D. F. Milam

North Carolina State Board of Health and Duke University School of Medicine, Durham

In a nutrition survey of a rather large population group, no correlation could be found between corneal invasion and the level of riboflavin in the diet. There was also no correlation with other signs suggestive of riboflavin deficiency.

Corneal invasion was found to be much more frequent in the white race than in the Negro race.

1 The studies and observations on which this paper is based were conducted with the support and under the auspices of the International Health Division of The Rockefeller Foundation in cooperation with the North Carolina State Board of Health and Duke University School of Medicine.

Manuscript received 8 February 1945.
