To report two cases of neurotrophic keratitis (NK) after micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TCP).Two patients with predisposing factors for decreased corneal sensation developed NK 1 month after MP-TCP. Both patients did not heal with initial treatment with topical antibiotic and preservative free artificial tears. One patient required use of a bandage contact lens and the other patient required tarsorrhaphy. Both eyes experienced recurrence of NK.NK can be triggered after MP-TCP in patients with underlying predisposing factors for decreased corneal sensation. This uncommon but vision-threatening complication should be discussed preoperatively with high-risk patients as a possible adverse event after MP-TCP and followed closely postoperatively.
