Evaluation of Medically Reversible Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency
This study highlights that LSCD can be completely or partially reversible with appropriate management, especially in cases with underlying limbal niche dysfunction, where inflammation plays a significant role. Although limbal stem cell transplantation is considered the main treatment approach for LSCD, localized and early-stage LSCD can be effectively managed medically without the need for surgical intervention.
