Corneal neurotization from the supratrochlear nerve with sural nerve grafts: a minimally invasive approach

Corneal anesthesia is a debilitating condition which can ultimately lead to blindness from repetitive corneal injury and scarring. We have developed a minimally invasive technique for corneal re-innervation that we have used with excellent results in ten eyes. This article and accompanying video describes the relevant anatomy and demonstrates the technique in detail.
