Limbal Stem Cell Transplantation

Limbal Stem Cell Transplantation is a medical procedure used to restore healthy stem cells from the limbus—the border area between the cornea and the sclera (white part of the eye)—when these cells are damaged or deficient. These stem cells are essential for regenerating and maintaining a clear, healthy cornea. The procedure involves transplanting healthy limbal tissue from a donor or the patient's own healthy eye to the damaged eye. This helps to restore vision by allowing the cornea to heal properly, reducing scarring, and improving clarity and function of the eye surface.
