The limbal ring, the dark ring around the iris , houses a reservoir of stem cells that keep the cornea’s outermost layer healthy.
When this vital source of rejuvenation is depleted, a disorder known as limbal stem-cell deficit (LSCD) affects the innermost layer of the eye's clear outer surface.
LSCD can be caused by ocular damage as well as autoimmune and hereditary illnesses.
