Purpose: To compare the early exposure and surgical revision rates between a new synthetic tissue substitute (CorNeat EverPatch) with that of human donor cornea following placement onto the scleral surface during ophthalmic surgery, and to study the biomaterial properties of the synthetic patch material.

Design: Retrospective comparison study; biomaterial analyses of new and explanted synthetic patch material.

Patients: All consecutive patients who underwent ophthalmic surgery with implantation of the CorNeat EverPatch at the Wilmer Eye Institute (occurring from February to August 2024) and a comparison group who underwent ophthalmic surgery with implantation of irradiated donor cornea, matched 1:2 with patients receiving EverPatch for age, type of glaucoma, and surgeon.

Background: T2DM is a chronic metabolic disorder to manage the same lifestyle modification is cornerstone. In 2022, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) published a consensus report targeting the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), which emphasised the importance of regular aerobic and resistance exercise. Both forms of physical activity (PA) can improve blood glucose, HbA1C levels, flexibility and balance.
