Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a degenerative corneal disease due to decreased or absent sensory corneal innervation. Early diagnosis and treatment of NK are considered important for restoring epithelial integrity and mitigating progression. In advanced stages of the disease, restoring corneal integrity and preventing recurrent defects can be confounded by an inadequate response to treatment(s), neuropathic comorbidities, and atypical presentations. Case-based education can help identify potential best practices in the diagnosis and treatment of all stages of NK. The desired results of this educational activity are to familiarize clinicians with real-world examples of diagnosing and effectively and safely treating patients with all stages of NK that can be applied to their own practice.
