Abstract

Purpose: : To assess the long term clinical outcome of Cultivated limbal epithelial transplantation(CLET)

Methods: : Records of 19 patients who underwent CLET for Limbal stem cell deficiency(LSCD) following chemical injury between May and December 2001 were reviewed for demographics, etiology, transplant characteristics and outcome.

Results: : Follow-up ranged from 13 to 57 months(Mean: 42.8 months.)The mean reduction in conjunctivalisation was 2.36 quadrants. 10 patients(52.6% had a successful outcome with less than 1 quadrant of conjuctivalisation and 4(21%) had a partially successful outcome.

Keywords: cornea: clinical science • cornea: epithelium • regeneration
