Abstract
Compared with the currently used surgical techniques for management of limbal stem cell deficiency, simple limbal epithelial transplantation seems to be a safe, reproducible, and effective alternative. The use of a double layer allows more protection for the explant without impacting outcomes. Also, the use of cryopreserved amniotic membrane allows surgeons to perform this procedure in the Unites States. More cases with longer follow-up will be needed to assess the outcomes further.
