Abstract
Severe limbal stem cell deficiency related to CL wear is a clinical diagnosis that an ophthalmologist should recognize. Female patients, soft CLs, and extended duration of wear time are associated with this condition. Conservative measures may not reverse the disease, and limbal stem cell transplantation with systemic immunosuppression is a surgical option for these young and healthy patients.
