Subjective score (A), Schirmer test (B), fluorescein staining (C), and superficial vascularization‐free corneal area (D) as function of postoperative time point after cultured LSC transplantation. The subjective score was calculated as the mean of quantitative evaluations of redness, pain, itching, foreign body sensation, and blurred vision. Fluorescein staining was assessed with blue cobalt slit‐lamp images as the mean grayscale level of the green channel. We show the change in fluorescein staining from baseline. This decreased with postoperative time in the autoLSC group but not in the alloLSC group. Superficial vascularization‐free corneal area was assessed with the green channel of white slit‐lamp image. We show the percentage of the corneal area that was free of superficial vascularization. Abbreviation: LSC, limbal stem cell.
