Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of using porcine anterior lens capsules as a substitute for Bowman layer grafts in rabbits with keratoconus, due to a shortage of donor corneas.
- The research involved transplanting the lens capsules into the corneal stroma of rabbits and monitoring changes in corneal transparency, thickness, and shape at various time points.
- Results indicated that the transplanted lens capsules preserved corneal transparency and structural integrity without any negative effects, suggesting they could be viable alternatives to Bowman layer grafts in corneal surgeries.
