Midterm results after allogeneic simple limbal epithelial transplantation from deceased‐donor eyes in patients with persistent corneal epithelial defects due to limbal stem cell deficiency
AlloSLET emerges as a viable mid-term intervention for limbal stem cell deficiency-associated non-healing corneal epithelial defects in the absence of autologous limbal tissue. Our findings underscore the increased risk of graft failure in patients with elevated IOP and a background of multiple previous amniotic membrane and corneal graft procedures.
