Limbal stem cell transplant is a surgical procedure in which stem cells from the limbus, the area around the cornea, are transplanted to restore the corneal epithelium. This procedure is typically used to treat conditions such as corneal scarring, dystrophies, or chemical burns that result in damage to the cornea's surface.

The transplant helps regenerate the damaged corneal epithelium, improving vision and restoring the integrity of the eye. The procedure is often done using stem cells from the patient's own eye or from a donor.

Limbal stem cell transplant is a vital treatment for restoring corneal health in patients with severe eye surface damage and offers a promising solution for those who have not responded to conventional treatments.
