Limbal Stem Cells Deficiency Overview

Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD) is an ocular surface disorder characterized by the loss or dysfunction of limbal stem cells, which are crucial for regenerating and maintaining the corneal epithelium. The limbus, located at the junction of the cornea and sclera, houses these stem cells. When they are damaged or depleted, the cornea loses its ability to repair and renew itself, leading to conjunctival cells migrating onto the cornea (conjunctivalization), resulting in persistent epithelial defects, neovascularization, chronic inflammation, scarring, and vision loss.

LSCD can be caused by various factors, including chemical or thermal burns, contact lens overuse, autoimmune diseases like Stevens-Johnson syndrome or ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, infections, or genetic conditions such as aniridia. Patients often present with symptoms like chronic redness, photophobia, recurrent pain, tearing, and blurred vision.

Diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by imaging techniques like impression cytology and in vivo confocal microscopy to detect conjunctival cells on the cornea. Management depends on the extent of deficiency. Early stages may benefit from lubrication, anti-inflammatory therapy, and avoidance of further insult. Advanced cases often require surgical intervention, such as limbal stem cell transplantation or bioengineered tissue grafts, to restore corneal surface integrity and improve vision outcomes.
