then graft survival and stabilization of epithelial cells are attained.

Conditions
Bilateral corneal epithelial stem cell deficiency: Patients with severe intractable ocular surface disease who have dysfunction of the entire limbus with totally replaced by conjunctival epithelium, neovascularization and corneal scarring tissue. (*Corneal epithelial stem cell deficiency: It is possible to make the diagnosis by using slit lamp microscopy showing loss of the palisades of Vogt (POV) and a conjunctivalized corneal surface which also can be seen by characteristic fluorescein staininCorneal epithelial stem cell deficiency: Patients who have dysfunction of the entire limbus with almost replaced by conjunctival epithelium, neovascularization and corneal scarring tissue.Unilateral corneal epithelial stem cell deficiency: Patients who have dysfunction of the entire limbus with almost replaced by conjunctival epithelium, neovascularization and corneal scarring tissue.
