Prospective Study of Corneal Sensitivity in Patients Treated With Proton Therapy for Extraocular Tumors
This pilot study showed no excess risk of damage to corneal sensitivity 6 months after proton therapy, as doses to the cornea could be minimized. However, based on prior neurotrophic keratitis cases for corneal doses above 50 GyRBE, further investigation is needed to establish the impact of high-dose proton therapy on corneal sensitivity.
