pubmed:abstractText |
Subepithelial amyloidosis of the cornea, or gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy (GDD), is a severe form of corneal stromal amyloidosis predominantly found in the Japanese population. GDD causes severe visual disturbances with irritating symptoms, and keratoplasty is inevitably complicated by early recurrence. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of limbal stem cell transplantation (LSCT) for the treatment of GDD.
