    Corneal preservation in a moist chamber at 4°C is safe for 24 hours, while Likorol DX medium allows for 7-day preservation with acceptable endothelial cell loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Tissue preservation
    • Corneal science

    Context:

    • Effective corneal preservation is crucial for transplantation success.
    • Current methods have limitations in duration and cell viability.
    • Evaluating novel preservation techniques is essential.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the efficacy of 4°C corneal preservation using a moist chamber versus Likorol DX medium.
    • To determine the optimal duration for each preservation method.
    • To quantify endothelial cell loss over time.

    Summary:

    • Pig eyes preserved in a moist chamber at 4°C showed 13.2% endothelial cell loss after 24 hours and 27.1% after 48 hours.
    • Corneas preserved in Likorol DX at 4°C exhibited 2.8% cell loss after 24 hours, 13.8% after 7 days, and 22.6% after 10 days.

  • Moist chamber preservation is suitable for short-term (24 hours), while Likorol DX supports longer preservation up to 7 days with manageable cell loss.

    • Impact:

    • This study provides evidence-based recommendations for corneal preservation.
    • Likorol DX medium offers a viable option for extended corneal storage.
    • Findings can inform clinical practice and improve outcomes in corneal transplantation.
