The cultivation of corneal-limbal cells in vitro represents an excellent means to generate models to study cornea function and disease processes. These in vitro expanded cornea-limbal epithelial cell cultures are rich in stem cells for cornea, and hence can be used as a cell therapy for cornea-limbal deficiency. This chapter details the primary culture of these cornea-limbal cells, which can be used as model for further studies of the cornea surface.
