  2. bOther underlying causes of NK in the right eye include: “partial limbal stem-cell deficiency” (n = 1), “herpes simplex keratitis” (n = 1), “Fuchs dystrophy” (n = 1), and “neurotrophic kertoconjunctivitis” (n = 1)
  3. cOther underlying causes of NK in the left eye include: “partial limbal stem-cell deficiency” (n = 1), “herpes simplex keratitis” (n = 1), and “Stevens-Johnson syndrome” (n = 1)
