Ocular surface reconstruction is a procedure designed to restore the surface of the eye in patients with severe injuries, diseases like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or chronic dry eye that does not respond to conventional therapies. The procedure often involves using tissue grafts from the patient’s own eye or other sources to repair or replace damaged corneal tissue and improve eye health.

Ocular surface reconstruction may involve techniques such as amniotic membrane transplant, limbal stem cell transplantation, or conjunctival autografting to regenerate the corneal epithelium and restore visual function.

This procedure is critical for patients with serious ocular surface conditions, offering the potential for improved vision and eye comfort.
