Description
Shefali Mazumdar, Richa Chauhan, and Shelly Chaudhary report an eye surgery case in this 2024 paper. A middle-aged man had total limbal stem cell deficiency in his left eye after a severe alkali burn nine months before. Scar tissue had fused his lid to the eye, and he could only count fingers at two feet.
The team used his own tissue in a simple limbal stem cell transplant plus a conjunctival autograft. The eye surface healed fully within 24 days. After 24 months, the surface stayed stable, his lid opening was normal, and his eye moved freely. Vision reached 6/12p with correction.
