Core Tip	Limbal cell transplantation has been developed for the management of limbal stem cell (LSC) deficiency, to improve this condition and related complications, ameliorating visual acuity and quality of life of affected patients. Some of the limitations include the lack of specific markers and standardized methods to identify LSCs, as well as the need to standardize the choice of therapeutic options which have diversified over the years and have evolved in terms of technology, efficacy, and safety. This clinical update review is to enable clinicians with the best evidence and current recommendations for managing their patients within the most advanced limbal cell transplant techniques.
