Early Intervention Stem Cell-Based Therapy (EISCBT) for Corneal Burns and Trauma
Abstract
Corneal trauma and chemical burns lead to corneal scarring, producing a long-term reduction in vision, sometimes blindness. Corneal scarring and decompensation are the second-most common causes of poor vision among ocular injuries in combat, commonly caused by explosions with fragmentary munitions and by chemical and thermal exposure.
