Summary

Name of the project：The application of cornea stem cells cultured on amniotic membrane in patients suffering from corneal stem cell insufficiency

Purpose: To develop the technique of using ex vivo expansion of autologous limbal stem cell cultured on amniotic membrane for treatment of patients suffering from limbal stem cell insufficiency

Conditions

  • Unilateral Limbal Stem Cell Insufficiency

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Transplant of cultured limbal stem cells on cornea

Remove the abnormal surface tissue on the lesion cornea, transplant the amniotic membrane with cultured limbal stem cells on the denuded cornea. Cover with contact lens after operation, and apply topical antibiotics and steroids.
