Am J Ophthalmol 1999, 128:573-581. • Ocular surface reconstruction was performed in four children blinded by Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Two of them with good tear function had successful results, whereas treatment failed in two with poor tear function associated with severe surface keratinization.

New Engl J Med 1999, 340:1697-1703. • Corneal epithelial SCT was performed in 43 eyes of 39 patients with severe ocular surface diseases. With a mean follow-up of 1163 days, corrected visual acuity improved from 0.004 to 0.02, and 22 eyes (51%) had corneal epithelialization. As complications, persistent epithelial defects were noted in 60.5% of cases, ocular hypertension in 37.2%, and endothelial rejection for central grafts in 46.4%.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 1999, 40:1664-1668. • Survival of donor-derived epithelial cells was studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization and HLA-DNA analysis in patients who had undergone limbal allograft transplantation. Donor-derived cells were found in 7 of 10 eyes after limbal transplantation, whereas only 1 of 15 eyes had donor cells after penetrating keratoplasty.
