Abstract:

The article reviews modern methods of treatment of persistent corneal epithelial defects and considers the factors involved in the development of this pathology, including the limbal stem cell deficiency, which is likely to play the main role. The most promising treatment methods are described, particularly the use of blood derivatives and cell therapy.

Keywords:

persistent corneal epithelial defect
