Autologous cultivated limbal epithelial transplantation (CLET) is a successful therapy to restore corneal epithelium when limbal epithelial stem cells are damaged unilaterally, which can result in corneal blindness. We used in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) to identify the best location in the corneoscleral limbal niche and to harvest autologous epithelial stem cells for CLET. We also ascertained the completeness of limbal structure removal after biopsy and followed the healing process for any evidence of limbal structure reappearance.
