Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD) overview
Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD) is characterized by a loss or deficiency of the stem cells in the limbus that are important for the regeneration of corneal epithelium and to the barrier function of the limbus. Due the loss of stem cells, the corneal epithelium is unable to repair and renew itself, resulting in in epithelial breakdown and persistent epithelial defects, corneal conjunctivalization and neovascularization, corneal scarring, and chronic inflammation. All of these contribute to loss of corneal clarity, potential vision loss, chronic pain, photophobia, and failure of keratoplasty if done before addressing this. LSCD has been associated with PAX6 gene mutations. Other causes include inflammatory conditions such as those seen in Steven-Johnsons syndrome (SJS), ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, graft versus host disease, infections, and trauma. LSCD can be diagnosed using corneal impression cytology along with clinical signs and symptoms. It can be reversed if treated early. The treatment options include corneal transplant, limbal graft, scleral lenses, autologous serum eye drops, stem cell therapies, discontinuation of soft contact lens wear, and preservative-free lubrication.
