PURPOSE
To describe the long-term management of bilateral limbal stem cell deficiency secondary to a severe chemical burn.
METHODS
Descriptive case report.
IMPORTANCE
This case highlights the importance of early intervention in ocular chemical burns for the preservation of tissue integrity and avoidance of perforation. We also review the use of proper ocular surface reconstructive techniques to restore the function of the limbal area, as well as the immunomodulatory strategies and follow-up needed for these interventions.
