Is simple limbal epithelial transplant surgery of high risk?
Hello doctor,
I am a 27 year old male. One year ago, there was a chemical injury to my right eye caused by cement. An amnio graft surgery was done immediately following the injury. Recently, a slit lamp examination, post-dilated examination, and a fundus examination were conducted, and my right eye was diagnosed as 'total LSCD s/p chemical injury' and I was suggested a simple limbal epithelial transplant. Now, is there any possibility to get back my vision in the right eye? Is there a risk to the left eye by doing this transplant? Kindly explain.
