There are several surgical approaches to cornea transplants (known as corneal keratoplasty). (assileye.com)
High-frequency radio energy (conductive keratoplasty) changes the shape of the cornea so contact lenses fit better. (medlineplus.gov)

Each cornea was mounted in a cornea holder (CiToxLAB, Veszprem, Hungary) with the endothelial side against the sealing ring (O-ring) of the posterior part of the holder. (europa.eu)
The storage duration of the cornea is 3 to 5 days and endothelial cell density is more than or equal to 2,500 cells/mm². (who.int)
The most common features of this syndrome are the movement of endothelial cells off the cornea onto the iris leading to corneal swelling, distortion of the iris, and variable degrees of distortion of the pupil. (bvsalud.org)

Whether the percentage of thin corneas that have a hidden collagen defect is 5% or 50%, LASIK is too risky. (crstoday.com)
Artificial corneas currently on the market are made up of recombinant collagen or chemical substances like synthetic polymer, which means they can often resist full incorporation into the eye or are not transparent after transplant. (medicaldevice-network.com)
