The limbus may appear thickened and opacified for 360°, accompanied by a peripheral, superficial neovascularization. The apices of these infiltrates may appear as punctate calcified concretions ...

The patient had corneal neovascularization 360 degrees in both eyes, and a midperipheral corneal scar in the left that was encroaching on the visual axis. She had grey refractile lines extending from ...

The limbus is the junction between the cornea and the sclera and harbors adult stem cells involved in corneal epithelial cells renewal, namely the limbal stem cells (LSCs). Damages to the limbus ...

Sight-robbing injuries to the cornea can be repaired using a groundbreaking experimental stem cell treatment, a new study shows. The cornea -- the clear outermost layer of the eye -- can become ...

Key Takeaways An experimental stem cell therapy can successfully treat blinding cornea damageThe therapy kick-starts the eye’s ability to maintain its smooth surfaceCells are taken from a person ...

The avascular nature of the cornea is necessary for optical clarity and optimal vision.Corneal neovascularization (NV) is a pathologic reaction that can be lethal to eyesight and is caused by many ...

Introduction Corneal neovascularization (CorNV) can lead to limbal stem cell deficiency, significant visual impairment, and subsequent high-risk keratoplasty with poor prognosis (1). The current ...

New blood vessels in your eye can signal eye disease. This is called neovascularization, and it's often a sign of diabetes-related retinopathy.

Damages to the limbus and/or the LSCs will lead to a loss of the limbal functions, defining limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Clinically, LSCD presents with conjunctival cell invasion into the ...
