Purpose: Ocular surface disorders due to various causes heal up if the limbal stem cells are adequate and healthy in
case of deficiency disorders manifest. To evaluate stem cell therapy in various ocular surface disorders.
Materials and methods: Study of patients with ocular surface disorders undergoing stem cell therapy in tertiary care
hospitals from 2006 to 2021.
Results: Forty cases of ocular surface disorders underwent stem cell therapy from various sources. Amniotic
membrane transplantation was done in Stevens Johnson syndrome (4 cases). Ocular surface stability improved in all
cases with visual improvement in a case of partial stem cell deficiency from counting fingers at 2 meters to 6/36 at
