Abstract:
A 62-year-old man presented with severe bilateral ocular surface chemical injury and history of failed penetrating keratoplasty of right eye in 1996. Visual acuity was hand movement in right eye and light perception in left eye. Staged procedures of limbal stem cells allograft followed by penetrating keratoplasty have been done and resulted in good ocular surface restoration and rehabilitation of vision in right eye.
