Summary
This study tests a new way to treat total blindness caused by severe eye burns or rare diseases that destroy the eye's surface stem cells. Doctors take a small sample of cells from the patient's cheek, grow them into a thin sheet in the lab, and transplant it onto the eye to restore a clear surface. The trial includes 40 adults in France and aims to see if the procedure is safe and can improve vision.
