Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Transplantation Science

Background:

  • Corneal transplantation relies on effective donor tissue preservation.
  • Advances in preservation media and techniques are crucial for improving graft survival.
  • Understanding endothelial cell viability is key to successful transplantation outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in corneal preservation techniques.
  • To compare different preservation methods, including chondroitin sulfate-containing media and McCarey-Kaufman medium.
  • To discuss methods for evaluating endothelial viability and the impact of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome on eye banking.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published studies comparing corneal preservation methods.

  • Analysis of organ culture techniques with chondroitin sulfate.
  • Evaluation of methods for assessing endothelial cell viability.

    • Main Results:

    • Chondroitin sulfate-containing media allow corneal storage up to ten days at 4°C.
    • Organ culture techniques are enhanced by chondroitin sulfate.
    • Improved understanding and new methods for evaluating endothelial viability exist.

    Conclusions:

    • Modern corneal preservation methods, particularly those using chondroitin sulfate, offer extended storage times.
    • Objective data now aids clinicians in selecting optimal preservation strategies.
    • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome presents ongoing challenges for eye banking and donor cornea supply.
