text: This discovery allows to hypothesise, on one hand, that the NGF, probably released by the nerve endings, would play a physiopathologic role in all corneal reparative mechanisms (both at the surface and at a deeper level) and, on the other hand, that several superficial corneal diseases accompanied by primary damage to the innervation (such as neurotrophic or dystrophic keratitis and recurrences of herpetic infections) or with secondary damage to the innervation (such as chemical or physical burns and post-infectious, autoimmune, post-surgical lesions, or lesions resulting from laser treatment) would admit as a fundamental etiologic step the lack of NGF release.
