👁️ How Your Cornea Heals Itself — Until It Doesn’t ⚠️🧬
The corneal surface regenerates every 7–10 days, thanks to basal cells and limbal stem cells. But when healing is impaired, it can lead to persistent epithelial defects (PEDs) — slow-healing wounds that damage deeper layers like the Bowman’s membrane. This triggers complex cellular responses involving growth factors, keratocyte activation, and even fibrosis. PEDs can cause long-term visual issues if untreated. Understanding this process is critical for both diagnosing and managing chronic corneal injuries effectively.
