Abstract
The previous treatment options for neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) were limited. Frequently performed surgical procedures for severe NK include amnionic membrane transplantation and tarsorrhaphy. Corneal neurotization describes the transposition of ahealthy donor nerve along the limbal circumference to re-establish corneal sensation and trophic function. The nerve transfer can be performed either by directly transpositioning the supraorbital nerve as described here or by using asural nerve interponate.
