Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We made alternative corneal stroma having strenght and tranparency the same as normal corneal stroma with transparent human amniotic membrane laminates. When these laminates were tranplanted to rabbit cornea, these membranes survived for a long time. These laminates were useful for filling scleral defect and covering glaucoma shunt device. We manipulated scleral contact lens with these laminates. When this contact lens was worn on chemical injured rabbit cornea, inflammation on the ocular surface was reduced significantly. This contact lens might be effective for severe ocular surface inflammation.
