Vogt and peripheral superficial neovascularization findings alone or in combination with other findings were evaluated as limbal dysfunction) (Fig. 1). Visual acuity was assessed as 0.3 and the epithelial defect improved.
The thick arrows indicate the conjunctival limbal autograft, and the thin arrows designate the amniotic membrane.
