The treatment of patients with neurotrophic keratitis, a rare disease of the eye that can lead to blindness, has evolved beyond treating symptoms to treatment that targets the root cause of the disease " nerve damage. Thus, early diagnosis is critical.

In addition to an overview of symptomatic care and emerging treatments, the safety, efficacy, storage, and administration of cenegermin are explained in detail. Clinical and real-world questions are discussed, related to patient education, provided by the interprofessional, multidisciplinary team.
