Neurotrophic Keratitis Patient Pool Analysis Market Forecast to Grow at 8.2% CAGR

Introduction
Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a rare, degenerative corneal disease caused by impaired corneal innervation, leading to reduced or absent corneal sensitivity. This results in poor wound healing, epithelial breakdown, and in severe cases, corneal ulceration, scarring, and vision loss. Although classified as a rare disease, NK has a significant clinical impact due to its association with conditions such as herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis, herpes zoster ophthalmicus, diabetes, ocular surgeries, and trigeminal nerve damage.

Historically underdiagnosed, NK is gaining attention with the development of nerve growth factor (NGF)-based therapies, advanced imaging techniques, and growing awareness among ophthalmologists. The NK patient pool analysis market reflects not just the burden of disease but also the growing opportunities for innovation in diagnostics and regenerative treatments.
