WHAT HOLOCLAR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Holoclar is a medicine used for replacing damaged cells of the cornea
(the clear layer that covers the
coloured iris at the front of the eye) including limbal cells which
normally help to maintain the health
of your eye.
Holoclar consists of a layer of your own cells which have been grown (
_ex vivo_
expanded) from a
sample of limbal cells taken from your eye during a small surgical
procedure called a biopsy. Each
preparation of Holoclar is made individually and is for a single
treatment only, although treatments can
be repeated. The cells used to make Holoclar are known as autologous
limbal cells:
•
AUTOLOGOUS

•
The
LIMBUS
is part of the eye. It is the rim surrounding the coloured centre
(iris) of your
eye. The picture shows where the limbus is in your eye.

The limbus contains

which normally help to maintain the health of your
eye and some of these are

Holoclar must be administered by an appropriately trained and
qualified surgeon and is restricted to
hospital use only.

Posology
This medicinal product is intended for autologous use only.
The amount of cells to be administered is dependent on the size
(surface in cm²) of the corneal surface.
Each preparation of Holoclar contains an individual treatment dose
with sufficient number of cells to
cover the entire corneal surface. The recommended do
