In a pioneering study, stem-cell-derived corneal implants improve sight for patients with severe vision impairment, offering a potential breakthrough for treating limbal stem cell deficiency.

For patients with severe corneal injuries, blindness has often been seen as a life sentence. But a new eye stem cell transplant may change that. Scientists at Massachusetts Eye and Ear have ...

Researchers estimate that more than 10 million people worldwide live with corneal blindness caused by disease or injury to the eye’s cornea. Unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a type of ...

Scientists have identified never-before-seen cells in the human eye that could potentially help reverse vision loss caused by common diseases, such as macular degeneration. The researchers discovered ...

Scientists are reporting the first strong evidence that human embryonic stem cells may be helping patients. The cells appear to have improved the vision in more than half of the 18 patients who had ...

Transplanted autologous corneal stem cells successfully repaired corneal injuries in patients. Over 90% of patients achieved complete or partial success. The procedure proved safe with no serious ...
