About the Limbus Session
In ophthalmology, the limbus refers to the border or junction between the cornea (the clear, dome-shaped surface covering the front of the eye) and the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye). This region is crucial because it houses stem cells responsible for maintaining the cornea's integrity and clarity. These limbal stem cells play a vital role in regenerating the corneal epithelium, which is essential for vision.
Disorders affecting the limbus, such as limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), can lead to impaired corneal healing, chronic inflammation, and vision loss. Treatment options for LSCD include transplantation of limbal tissue or stem cells from healthy eyes to restore function and improve visual outcomes. Understanding the limbus is thus fundamental in managing conditions that affect corneal health and vision, highlighting its pivotal role in ophthalmology.

Limbus Conference 2027 — FAQs
What is the Limbus track at IOC 2027?
The Limbus track is a dedicated stream within IOC 2027 covering the latest research, clinical innovation, and best practice in Limbus. It brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners for oral presentations, posters, and discussion.
Who should attend the Limbus sessions?
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, educators, doctoral students, and trainees with an interest in Limbus are all welcome — whether presenting or attending.
Can I present my research in the Limbus track?
Yes. Submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. All submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee; accepted abstracts appear in the indexed proceedings.
