ποΈ How Your Cornea Heals Itself β Until It Doesnβt β οΈπ§¬
The corneal surface regenerates every 7β10 days, thanks to basal cells and limbal stem cells. But when healing is impaired, it can lead to persistent epithelial defects (PEDs) β slow-healing wounds that damage deeper layers like the Bowmanβs 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.
