Combined Use of Therapeutic Hyper-CL Soft Contact Lens and Insulin Eye Drops for the Treatment of Recalcitrant Neurotrophic Keratopathy

Abstract

The combination of insulin eye drops and therapeutic Hyper-CL soft CL was effective in determining healing of recalcitrant NK not responsive to standard treatments and bandage CL. It is unclear whether the positive outcomes were determined by insulin eye drops, Hyper-CL, or the combination of both, and future randomized clinical trials are warranted to determine the contribution of each treatment.
