Neurotrophic keratitis (NK), or neurotrophic keratopathy, is a disease that damages the corneal nerves. If untreated, it can worsen and cause corneal ulceration, scarring and vision loss. Risk factors of NK include chronic medical conditions (diabetes, hypertension), corneal injury, chronic inflammation from dry eye, contact lens wear and chronic use of topical medications (such as glaucoma medications).

From keratoconus management and blinking mechanics to aesthetics in optometry and neural vision training, today’s advances are redefining how clinicians approach eye care. Each topic offers new ways to combine science, empathy, and innovation — ultimately improving not just how patients see, but how they live.

Recent CE courses covered the latest in ocular surface disease, from Demodex blepharitis and MGD to neurotrophic keratitis and corneal nerve dysfunction. Here are the key takeaways, clinical pearls, and new treatment insights shared by leading experts.

Two powerful lessons: tailor contact lenses to meet unique visual needs, and never overlook corneal sensitivity testing in suspected NK.
