OXERVATE is the first FDA-approved treatment for people with neurotrophic keratitis. The main ingredient of OXERVATE is cenegermin, a recombinant form of human nerve growth factor. OXERVATE is structurally identical to the nerve growth factor that is naturally produced by your eyes.1,4

Nerve growth factor is thought to be involved in the maintenance of nerves that support corneal health.1,4 In your eyes, naturally ocurring nerve growth factor is thought to:

• Foster healing of the cells on corneal surface 
• Help promote tear secretion 
• Help improve the function of the nerves in the cornea 

Scientific studies have also shown that nerve growth factor helps corneal epithelial cells and corneal nerves survive.2,3,5
