Abstract:
Limbal stem cell transplantation (Limbal transplantation) is a surgical technique of ocular epithelial transplantation advocated for a variety of Ocular surface disorders with presumed stem cell deficiency- especially chemical injury of the eye. We report 2 cases (2 eye) of chemical injury successfully treated by limbal autologous transplantation in 1998. The value, indications, complications and prospect of this procedure are discussed.
