Abstract

Clinical examination can lead to misdiagnosis of LSCD. Immunocytochemical detection of K7/K13 on corneal ECs collected by IC is reproducible, noninvasive, and highly effective in this indication, but without any quantification of the degree of the disease. This time-consuming technique requires skilled technicians and laboratory facilities, reserving it for planned limbal reconstruction.
