Jan 27th, 2022 - Some severe ocular burns or other rare ocular pathologies can be associated with a total loss of corneal epithelial stem cells (i.e. Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency - LSCD), which leads to cornea invasion by the conjunctiva and a subsequent opacificat...

Feb 28th, 2020 - The purpose of this pilot study is to explore whether corneal epithelial autograft (EA) combined with allogeneic middle lamellar keratoplasty (AMLK) is more effective than limbal autograft (LA) with AMLK for ocular surface reconstruction in patien...
