FA patients did not show any abnormalities in either outcome measures, Corneal sensitivity measured using a Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometer and Tear function tests which included tear break-up time (TBUT) and Schirmer's. This may be attributed to, unlike other Neurodegenerative Diseases, lack of autonomic disturbances in FA patients
