New Technology Could Aid Corneal Transplants

Corneal graft, corneal transplant,

A recent animal study has given new hope to those in need of a corneal transplant due to advanced eye conditions such as Keratoconus, especially those with a high risk of rejection.

John Hopkins Medicine Researchers have discovered a potential way to prevent rejection of a corneal transplant through medicine-loaded nanoparticles that release the necessary medication then biodegrade once all the medicine is released. This finding has the potential to solve the most common problem in rejection cases – the issue of medicine compliance, which would help patients have a better chance of attaining corneal transplant/graft success.

Corneal graft, or transplant operations are performed to replace damaged, diseased or scarred corneas with healthy cornea tissue. Such conditions include Fuchs Endothelial Dystrophy, Herpes Simplex Viral Disease, but more commonly, Keratoconus. Corneal grafts have been one of the major transplant success stories and have been used in ophthalmology ever since the first successful transplant in 1905. If this discovery proves successful, this could pave the way for many more patients to undergo this pioneering treatment.

The research team have now stated their intentions to continue with the collaboration between engineering and medicine to further investigate better ways to treat eye diseases such as macular degeneration and glaucoma.

  Dr Tappin and the team at LaserVision were amazing. I underwent Lasik corrective surgery and the process could not have been smoother. I was guided through the process with care and professionalism throughout. My results have been outstanding. I could not have asked for more from the team at LaserVision and I am truly grateful for my new vision.

  Utterly professional and caring from start to finish. I was quite nervous about having laser but am so pleased with the results. There has always been someone to advise and support every step of the way and patient care and well being really is the priority here. Thank you for looking after me and my eyes so well.

  Dr Jayaswal has been amazing and changed my life. He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in his care at the first meet, to remembering me with a personalised greeting, calmly explaining the procedure and reassuring me all the way through the surgery. I couldn’t recommend him enough for Lasik eye surgery - I now have perfect vision, a real dream come true! Thank you so much!

  I had lens replacement surgery.  After being both short sighted and long sighted for decades I can now see near and far without glasses or contact lens.  It really is amazing.  The care was great and so far the recovery has been easy.

  Amazing service from start to finish, I had LASIK surgery in August this year after years of consideration I finally took the plunge and went for the surgery with Mr Tappin.

Mr Mike Tappin and his team were brilliant from the consultation right through to the surgery and aftercare. Mr Tappin and his team were very reassuring throughout the surgery and put me at ease every step of the way.

If you are thinking about having laser eye treatment or at the start of your journey with it, I would highly recommend seeing Mr Tappin and his team!
