Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the epithelial phenotype in patients with a limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) after ocular surface reconstruction with autologous cultured stem cells. To correlate the epithelial phenotype with the clinical outcome. METHODS: Six eyes affected by LSCD, verified and graded by impression cytology, were treated with an autologous fibrin-cultured limbal stem cell graft. The clinical outcome was...
