First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This early study tested whether a thin, clear membrane from the back of the cornea (Descemet's membrane) can help the eye heal in people with limbal stem cell deficiency, a condition that causes blindness. Nineteen participants received the membrane as a patch on the eye's surface. The goal was to see if it could restore the cornea's outer layer and improve vision. The study focused on safety and early signs of effectiveness.
