Your resource to discover everything about LSCD
LSCD can be a life-changing and severely debilitating condition.1 LSCD also represents a major psychological burden, both from the trauma of the original incident and the ongoing management of eye disfigurement.2 The highly visible nature of the injury can also impair a person’s confidence and cause social isolation.3 Some people with LSCD are unable to continue working because of the physical or psychological effects.4
In addition to visual impairment, the condition is associated physically with high levels of pain5 and psychologically with a significant degree of depression.67 Depression may slow down the recovery process,8and both pain and depression can result in poorer physical functioning over time.910
