Summary

This study tests whether injecting stem cells into the eye can help heal corneal ulcers that haven't improved with standard treatments. The stem cells are donated from healthy volunteers and processed in a lab. About 38 adults with persistent eye surface damage will receive the injection and be monitored for up to 90 days to see if the cornea heals and vision improves.
