Bioengineered Collagen Composite Materials As Implantable Artificial Corneas

The development of a reconstructed human cornea is necessary in view of the world-wide shortage of donors, the increasing risk of transmissible diseases, the widespread use of corrective surgery, which renders corneas unsuitable for grafting, and the severe limitations of currently available synthetic polymer-based artificial corneas. The development of a reconstructed human cornea is vital and will represent a real breakthrough, allowing diseased or damaged corneas to be replaced by tissue-engineered corneal implants that resemble in all respects their natural counterparts.
