Keratoprostheses for corneal blindness: a review of contemporary devices [PDF]

, 2015
According to the World Health Organization, globally 4.9 million are blind due to corneal pathology. Corneal transplantation is successful and curative of the blindness for a majority of these cases. However, it is less successful in a number of diseases

Cell therapy of congenital corneal diseases with umbilical mesenchymal stem cells: lumican null mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Keratoplasty is the most effective treatment for corneal blindness, but suboptimal medical conditions and lack of qualified medical personnel and donated cornea often prevent the performance of corneal transplantation in developing countries.

Corneal transplantation in Britain [PDF]

BMJ, 1995
Over 3000 corneal transplant operations are performed each year in Britain, making this the commonest type of allografting. In most procedures a full thickness corneal button, about 8 mm in diameter, is removed and replaced. The change from using fresh tissue (within 24 hours of death) to stored tissue during the 1980s converted keratoplasty from an ...
