Summary:Apparatus (20) for ophthalmic treatment includes an optical unit (30), which includes a camera (54), which is configured to capture an image of an eye (25) of a patient, a laser (48), which is configured to emit pulses of laser radiation, and beam conditioning and scanning optics (49, 50), which are configured to focus and direct the laser radiation to impinge on an anterior surface of the eye. A controller (44) is configured to analyze the image so as to identify a limbus of the eye, and to control the optical unit so that the laser radiation impinges on a set of one or more locations on the anterior surface of the eye that are in a vicinity of the limbus with a pulse duration and an energy selected so as to stem cells at the one or more locations.
