Provision of human ocular tissue for biomedical research: trends, limitations, and potential solutions from an eye bank.

Post-mortem donor eye tissues are essential for biomedical research. This study analyzes factors affecting donor eye availability for research through a retrospective review of recoveries at a U.S.

Size and Shape Matter: Cell Viability of Preloaded Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty Grafts in Three Different Carriers.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine endothelial cell loss (ECL) associated with preloaded Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) grafts loaded into 3 carriers of different size and shape.

Methods: Thirty-six donor corneas were prepared for DSAEK and loaded into an EndoGlide Ultrathin (control) (2.0 mm × 3.
