A The first type of LCD that the corneal stromal nerves not involved, the nerve fibers straight, and highly reflective, with smooth borders and a straight structure. B Some of amyloid encapsulating the nerve fibers of the corneal stroma; the affected nerve fibers becoming thickened and the unwrapped nerves growing thinner, taking the form of being beaded, defined as Grade I of neurotropic phenomenon. C A large number of amyloids in the nerve fibers enveloping the corneal stroma; the affected nerve fibers significantly thickened, defined as Grade II of neurotropic phenomenon of LCD
