Reply to Comment on: Management of Congenital Aniridia-Associated Keratopathy: Long-term Outcomes From a Tertiary Referral Center

We thank Drs Singhal, Nagpal, and Maharana for their interest in and comment on our work regarding the management of aniridia-associated keratopathy (AAK). In answer to the question regarding the surgical techniques for limbal stem cell transplantation (LSCT), we have previously published our techniques.1,2 We refer the authors to those publications for more details and encourage them to directly contact 1 of the corresponding authors for more specific questions. As for the choice of donor tissue, the great majority of LSCTs were cadaveric keratolimbal allograft (KLAL) and only a few cases had undergone living-related LSCT (mentioned in the manuscript); therefore, a direct comparison of outcomes was not possible in this study.
