Challenges in Accessing Corneal Transplant in Developing Countries
The Role of Corneal Limbal Stem Cell Transplants
Corneal Limbal Stem Cell Transplants (CLSTs) are a specialized and innovative segment of the Corneal Transplant Market. These procedures are used to treat limbal stem cell deficiency, a condition that can result from chemical burns, trauma, or congenital disease. The unique challenges and opportunities of this market segment are explored in reports like the one on the Corneal Transplant Market. CLSTs involve transplanting stem cells from a healthy donor to the patient's eye to regenerate the corneal surface. This highly specialized procedure offers hope for patients with severe corneal surface damage who would not be candidates for a traditional transplant. The discussion could focus on the advancements in this field and its potential to expand treatment options.
