A properly functioning cornea is critical to clear vision and healthy eyes. As the most anterior portion of the eye, it plays an essential role in refracting light onto the retina and as an anatomical barrier to the environment. Proper vision requires that all layers be properly formed and fully intact. In this article, we discuss the role of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in maintaining and restoring the outermost layer of the cornea, the epithelium. It has been known for some time that the addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) promotes the restoration of the corneal epithelium and patients using EGFR inhibitors as anti-cancer therapies are at increased risk of corneal erosions. However, the use of EGF in the clinic has been limited by downregulation of the receptor. More recent advances in EGFR signaling and trafficking in corneal epithelial cells have provided new insights in how to overcome receptor desensitization. We examine new strategies for overcoming the limitations of high ligand and receptor expression that alter trafficking of the ligand:receptor complex to sustain receptor signaling.
