Short-term outcomes of corneal epithelial reconstruction in patients with bilateral limbal stem cell deficiency using paralimbal oral mucosal epithelial transplantation
Paralimbal oral mucosa epithelial transplantation (PLOMET) enables stable corneal re-epithelialization and partial improvement in visual acuity. The latter is limited by the degree of corneal stromal opacification, providing a rationale for optical keratoplasty as a second stage of visual rehabilitation in this patient population.
