Surgeon's Area

 

Cornea in tissue-culture bottleThe eye bank stores corneas in organ culture, and corneo-scleral segments can generally be despatched on demand. Corneal tissue is also processed into freeze-dried lenticules, and these are available in a number of pre-cut diameters and thicknesses. Freeze-dried sclera is also available.
