About Artificial Cornea:
- The cornea is the transparent front portion of the eye that permits light to enter the eye.
- Generally it becomes gloomy or misshapen, cause gravely reduced visualization or loss of sight.
- Diseased corneas can be replaced successfully through transplantation (medically termed "keratoplasty") using human donor cornea or artificial cornea (Keratoprosthesis).
- Keratoprosthesis is prepared by apparent plastic with outstanding tissue tolerance and visual characteristics.
- The polymers used in artificial cornea need to be bio-compatible, flexible, sufficient mechanical strength.
Product characteristics:
- The artificial cornea is expected to have the following characteristics:
- Withstand intraocular pressure
- Be transparent
- Have appropriate curvature
- Have suitable refractive index
- Sufficient tensile strength to allow surgical manipulation and fixation
- Scratch resistance
Raw materials:
- The Keratoprosthesis or artificial cornea is made using following materials:
- Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA)
- Poly 2-hydroxythyl methacrylate hydrogels (PHEMA)
- Poly vinyl alcohol (PVA)
