Abstract:
Anatomic orientation of corneal donor tissue is consistently possible by cutting a "V"-shaped notch in the scleral rim at 12 o'clock. An obvious marker improves the evaluation of suspicious lesions by other observers, facilitates accurate communication of findings to corneal surgeons, and aids in instructing new eye bank technicians. A further possible benefit is that the marker permits anatomically correct orientation of corneal tissue.
