Abstract
Purpose: to evaluate the surgical outcomes and possible complications of limbal stem cell transplantation procedures including keratolimbal autograft (KLAU) transplantation and keratolimbal allograft (KLAL) transplantation.
Methods: This prospective interventional clinical trial included “17 eyes” of patients (with mean of age of 56.56 ±7.53 years) with limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), at Benha University Hospitals, in between May 2022 & May 2024.
Results: The obtained results of this study showed a statistically significant difference (improvement of VA) between pre-operative and post-operative (after 3 Months) visual acuity among studied eyes (p-value
