Corneal nerve regeneration in neurotrophic keratopathy following autologous plasma therapy.
AIMS To evaluate the effect of topical autologous plasma on nerve morphology in patients with neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) using the confocal microscope. METHODS Eleven eyes of six patients with neurotrophic keratopathy were evaluated for this study. Corneal fluorescein staining was done, and corneal sensitivity measurements were done with the Cochet-Bonnet and modified Belmonte gas aesthesiom...

This category of diseases is caused by damage to the trigeminal nerve and the consequent loss of corneal sensation. It leads to various types of corneal disorder, including superficial keratopathy, persistent epithelial defects and corneal ulcers. In the present article, we review the p...
