    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Regenerative Medicine
    • Biomaterials

    Context:

    • Progressive myopia poses a significant challenge in clinical ophthalmology.
    • Allo-scleroplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at slowing myopia progression.
    • Limited availability and potential complications of existing allo-scleroplasty materials necessitate novel solutions.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of umbilical tissue as a novel allo-scleroplasty material for progressive myopia.
    • To define indications, contraindications, and surgical techniques for umbilical tissue allo-scleroplasty.
    • To analyze immediate surgical outcomes, postoperative complications, and long-term functional effects.

    Summary:

    • A study involving 229 operations on 144 patients investigated umbilical tissue for allo-scleroplasty in progressive myopia.
    • Preservation of umbilical tissue in thymol and lithium chloride solution effectively prevented postoperative complications.
    • The functional benefits achieved through umbilical allo-scleroplasty demonstrated persistence in long-term follow-up.

    Impact:

    • Umbilical tissue presents a clinically accessible and effective biomaterial for allo-scleroplasty.
    • This approach offers a promising method for managing progressive myopia with sustained functional outcomes.
    • The findings support the use of umbilical tissue as a safe and reliable alternative in myopia management.
