Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.

A simplified ex vivo model to learn the correct orientation of Descemet membrane endothelial graft

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021
We describe a simple, endoilluminator-assisted technique, which enables an easy identification of the descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty graft orientation, as well as provides its good visualization in the anterior chamber, during all the steps ...

Outcomes of therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in acanthamoeba keratitis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract While acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a sight‐threatening corneal infection, a thorough comparison of the outcomes of therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and therapeutic deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is lacking. We aimed to compare clinical outcomes of PK and DALK in AK.

Corneal Xenotransplantation: Lessons From Allograft Immunobiology and Emerging Translational Strategies

Xenotransplantation, Volume 33, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Corneal transplantation is an effective sight‐restoring procedure, yet its global impact remains constrained by limited and uneven access to human donor tissue and by immune‐mediated graft failure, particularly in high‐risk recipients. Xenotransplantation offers a potentially scalable alternative, but successful clinical translation requires ...

3D‐Printed Corneal Substitutes: Materials, Fabrication, and Preclinical Progress

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 20, 21 October 2026.
Successful clinical translation of 3D‐printed corneal substitutes relies on the interplay between the bioink properties, cellular component, and the fabrication process. These factors influence the critical properties of the construct, including optical transparency, mechanical stability, suture retention, that ultimately govern long‐term stromal ...
