Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a condition that affects the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, leading to significant visual impairment. This deficiency occurs when the limbal ...

Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a severe ocular condition where the loss of functioning adult stem cells at the cornea's edge leads to vision impairment due to the invasion of fibrotic ...

Patients with limbal deficiency may benefit from limbal stem cell transplantation to alleviate persistent epithelial defects, maintain conjunctivalization regression and corneal avascularity ...

In early November, researchers at Osaka University in Japan published groundbreaking findings in the scientific journal The Lancet, introducing the world's first stem cell treatment that ...

If the cornea is badly damaged, limbal stem cells can taken from the patient, grown in the lab and then transplanted back on to the patient’s damaged eye, or eyes, in order to restore sight.

Donnenfeld, MD, of OCLI Vision, highlights a new technique for performing penetrating limbal relaxing incisions. “These are simply conventional keratome incisions made at the axis of the cylinder.

Since these tissues are not corneal epithelium and do not possess innate limbal stem cells, it would be interesting to perform longitudinal studies to document the long-term restoration of corneal ...
