Beschreibung
The book explores the paradigm shift in eye banking and the ongoing efforts to develop eye banks of optimal standards in many low and middle-income countries to meet the demand for corneal tissues. It emphasizes the need to improve the medical standard of eye banks worldwide.
The book provides scientific advances in immunology, microbiology, surgical techniques, and tissue banking as well as insight into various legislations, medical standards, and regulations regarding corneal donations, processes, and transplantation methods. It includes different techniques such as PKP, ALK, DALK, DSEK/DSAEK, UT-DSAEK, DMEK. Additionally, it covers the relevance of immunology and microbiology in eye banking.
In low and middle-income countries, where the magnitude of corneal blindness is most significant, the availability of donor corneas is very low due to the lack of local eye banks. There is a considerable need for transplantable donor corneas to reduce corneal blindness worldwide.
The book covers the recent advances in keratoplasty and eye banking. It highlights the more commonly performed lamellar keratoplasty procedure for optical indication, which has reduced complications during surgery and improved long-term outcomes.
The book is a must-read for ophthalmologists, subspecialists, eye bankers, corneal surgeons, and ophthalmology residents (PGY-3).
