SCENE + HEARD: Discover 3D Printed Corneas in 10 Minutes or Less By Staff Wednesday, July 18, 2018 3:27 PM Technology has once again come to the rescue—this time to the hopes of providing artificial corneas for the nearly five million people worldwide who have lost vision due to infection-related corneal scarring. Conventional replacement of corneal tissue is limited by the scarcity of human donor grafts relative to need. Researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom recently engineered a viable artificial cornea using a 3D bio-printing process. Read how researchers have successfully created an artificial cornea using human stem cells, alginate and collagen in this story from Review of Optometry. Read More.
