Summary

This study followed 24 people with stage 1 neurotrophic keratitis, a rare eye condition where the cornea doesn't heal properly, to see if OXERVATE eye drops remain safe and effective over 30 months. Participants had already completed the earlier DEFENDO study. Researchers tracked corneal healing, eye sensitivity, tear function, vision, and quality of life. The goal was to confirm long-term benefits and safety of the treatment.
