The Role of Stem Cell Therapy in Treating Corneal Diseases and Promoting Ocular Regeneration

Abstract

Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for corneal diseases, offering

potential for ocular regeneration and restoration of vision. Corneal diseases, whether from

genetic factors, trauma, or age-related degeneration, often lead to blindness or severe visual

impairment. Traditional methods such as corneal transplants may have limitations, including

graft rejection and limited donor availability. This research paper explores the various stem

cell therapies used in treating corneal diseases, focusing on their ability to promote ocular

regeneration. We discuss the types of stem cells employed, mechanisms of action, clinical

applications, and the challenges associated with their use in ocular medicine. The paper aims

to highlight the advances in stem cell-based treatments, their role in corneal wound healing,

and the potential for future clinical applications in regenerative ophthalmology.
