LESCs were successfully cultured using locally available adapted methods, and their clinical benefits verified by transplantation.

Cultured OMEC have the potential to act as autografts for ocular surface reconstruction in patients with bilateral ocular surface disease and can prove to be particularly beneficial to ameliorate the mucin deficiency state in dry eye associated with OSD.

The hydrophilicity of the surface achieved by plasma treatment effectively enhanced the transparency and promoted the biocompatibility of scaffolds. These nanofibers may act as biological cues for endorsing ocular surface engineering.
