To assess the efficacy and accessibility of topical insulin used either alone or in combination with a drug-depository contact lens for treating refractory neurotrophic keratopathy.
Administered topical insulin therapy as a monotherapy or delivered via a drug-depository contact lens (DDCL).
Evaluated clinical utility in individuals presenting with treatment-refractory neurotrophic keratopathy.
Topical insulin administered alone or paired with a drug-depository contact lens achieved successful therapeutic outcomes in refractory cases without specific quantitative rates reported.
The intervention provided an accessible and cost-effective treatment strategy for resolving persistent corneal epithelial defects.

Implication

Clinical study demonstrates effectiveness of topical insulin and drug-depository contact lenses in refractory neurotrophic keratopathy, indicating an accessible therapeutic approach.

Abstract

Topical insulin, used alone or in combination with DDCL, is an accessible, inexpensive, and effective treatment for refractory NK.
