American Journal of Ophthalmology
|October 15, 1986
Summary
Excessive traction during corneal button excision damages endothelial cells, causing linear opacities called striae. Careful surgical technique is crucial to prevent this cell damage and preserve corneal health.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Corneal Surgery
- Cell Biology
Background:
- Corneal transplantation relies on donor tissue, specifically corneoscleral buttons.
- Donor tissue integrity is vital for successful graft outcomes.
- Endothelial cell damage can compromise graft function.
