Clinical data of patients who underwent simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET)
| Case | Pre-op (SLET) BCVA | Symblepharon (quadrants) | Conjunctivalisation (cumulative in degrees) | Injury–SLET duration | Complete epithelialisation during the acute phase—SLET duration | Conformer/FFS | PED after SLET | Follow-up (months) | Final outcome | Final BCVA | Status at final follow-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

BCVA, best corrected visual acuity; CFCF, counting fingers close to face; FFL, following and fixating light; FFS, fornix formation sutures; HMPR, hand motions, accurate projection of rays; PED, persistent epithelial defect; PKP, penetrating keratoplasty; PL, perception of light; PR, projection of rays; RGP, rigid gas permeable lens.
