Abstract
Purpose Of Review:
Trigeminal anesthesia causes neurotrophic keratopathy, which may yield facial disfigurement and corneal blindness.
Recent Findings:
We summarize approaches and evidence for corneal neurotization.
Summary:
Regional sensory nerve transfer appears safe and effective for therapeutic management of neurotrophic keratopathy. Prospective randomized clinical trials are necessary to confirm the utility of corneal neurotization.
