Neurotrophic keratitis is a degenerative disease of the corneal epithelium resulting from impaired corneal innervation, possibly leading to perforation. In this report, we present a case with a history of herpetic keratitis, who developed a difficult neurotrophic ulcer despite 10 days of topical lubricant therapy and oral doxycycline. Amniotic membrane transplantation can be considered an effective alternative for treating persistent and progressive neurotrophic corneal ulcers.
