  • To highlight the importance and potential of TE in restoring vision and ocular function.
  • To identify existing TE strategies and unmet needs in ocular tissue regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on tissue engineering applied to ocular tissues.
  • Analysis of cell-based and scaffold-based TE strategies.
  • Discussion of clinical relevance and future directions for ocular TE.

Main Results:

  • Tissue engineering has shown promise in addressing ocular tissue defects.
  • Both cell-based and scaffold-based approaches have been explored for various ocular tissues.
  • There is a continued need for more robust and clinically viable engineered ocular tissue substitutes.

Conclusions:

  • Tissue engineering holds significant potential for treating ocular injuries and diseases.
  • Further research and development are crucial to overcome current limitations in ocular TE.
  • The field requires innovative approaches to create functional and safe ocular tissue replacements.
