Accidental 'chuna' (lime) injury to the eye damages the Limbus which is essential for the maintainence of the corneal clarity. Patients with Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD) would not only be benefited with a corneal transplantation and require LIMBAL STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION. Below is a case of a young girl whio was not getting married due to her eye.
She had Total LSCD, underwent LSCT and recovered with a stable, epithelized surface. Corneal haze continues to decrease and should be non-existent in 3 months after surgery.
