Abstract- The evolution of cell-based therapies has played a very crucial role in corneal pathology treatments. Stem cells in the limbus have proven/considered to be the magic potion for eye treatment. Epithelial and stromal stem cells in the limbal region of cornea hold the responsibility of replenishing the corneal epithelium and maintaining transparency.

Keywords- Regenerative medicine, Corneal pathology, Limbal epithelial stem cell, cornea like stromal cell
