    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Optics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Assessing human corneal tissue quality is crucial for research and therapeutic applications.
    • Multiphoton microscopy offers advanced imaging capabilities for biological tissues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a methodology for analyzing light transmission and nanoparticle penetration in excised human corneas.
    • To establish a reliable method for assessing corneal optical quality using existing microscopy equipment.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized multiphoton microscopy with a femtosecond laser to analyze light transmission (700-1060 nm) through excised human corneas.
    • Imaged fluorescent mPEG-coated nanoparticle penetration into the corneal stroma using second-harmonic generation for collagen visualization.
    • Employed an epithelium-off ex vivo human corneal model for nanoparticle penetration studies.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved over 90% light transmission through corneal tissue, indicating high optical quality.
    • Successfully imaged nanoparticle penetration at various depths within the corneal stroma, co-located with collagen fibers.
    • Demonstrated the capability to validate corneal tissue quality without specialized equipment.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed methodology provides a reliable, accessible approach for assessing corneal optical transparency and nanoparticle penetration.
    • This technique is valuable for preclinical evaluation of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems and corneal research.
    • Combines optical quality assessment with nanoparticle tracking for comprehensive tissue evaluation.
