A Compass Aesthesiometer measures skin’s tactile sensitivity, primarily for assessing nerve function in neurology, physical therapy, and ophthalmology, helping diagnose nerve damage (neuropathies, peripheral nerve injuries) and monitor sensory recovery, using adjustable points to find the minimum distance for two-point discrimination or touch perception in skin, mouth, and eyes, especially the cornea.
