Limbal Stem Cells Deficiency Overview
Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD) is a disorder of the ocular surface marked by the depletion or impaired function of limbal stem cells, which play a critical role in the regeneration and maintenance of the corneal epithelium. These stem cells reside in the limbus, the border area between the cornea and sclera. Damage or loss of these cells compromises corneal repair, allowing conjunctival cells to invade the corneal surface, a process known as conjunctivalization. This leads to persistent epithelial defects, abnormal blood vessel growth, chronic inflammation, scarring, and progressive vision impairment.
LSCD may result from chemical or thermal injuries, prolonged contact lens use, autoimmune disorders such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, infections, or inherited conditions like aniridia. Common symptoms include persistent redness, light sensitivity, recurrent ocular pain, excessive tearing, and blurred vision.
Diagnosis is largely clinical and may be supported by techniques such as impression cytology and in vivo confocal microscopy to identify conjunctival cell presence on the cornea. Treatment strategies depend on disease severity. Early-stage LSCD may be managed with lubricants, anti-inflammatory medications, and elimination of contributing factors. Advanced cases often require surgical approaches, including limbal stem cell transplantation or engineered tissue grafts, to restore corneal integrity and improve visual outcomes.

Limbal Stem Cells Deficiency Epidemiology
In 2023, approximately 241,000 diagnosed prevalent cases of LSCD were reported across the 7MM, with the United States accounting for nearly 103,000 cases. Both overall and region-specific prevalence is expected to increase by 2034. Japan reported around 24,000 unilateral and 13,000 bilateral cases. In the US, LSCD prevalence was higher among males (66,000 cases) than females (37,000 cases). In Germany, the leading EU4 country, major causes included ocular surgeries (around 13,000 cases), chronic ocular surface inflammatory conditions (approximately 7,000 cases), and chemical or thermal injuries (nearly 5,000 cases), all of which are expected to rise during the forecast period. Severity-based analysis in Japan showed mild cases as the most common and severe cases as the least frequent, a pattern likely to persist through 2034.
