| Corneal transplants are performed for people who have damaged or opaque corneas. |
|
| Tissues such as corneas, skin, bone, bone marrow, cartilage, tendons, veins, and fascia also can be transplanted successfully. |
|
| We know that corneas and sackbuts were used in the Chapel on special occasions even in Elizabethan times. |
|
| The four patients had Stevens-Johnson syndrome, marked by cloudy corneas, dry eye and pain. |
|
| One potential concern raised by the study was the loss of endothelial cells in the corneas of patients who received the implants. |
|
| Without moisture, our corneas, which serve as protective domes for the front of the eyes, would dry out and could become cloudy or injured. |
|
| All relatives were asked whether the patient carried a donor card or had expressed a wish to donate organs, including corneas. |
|
| He wanted to know what was wrong with the six-year-old girl with opaque corneas. |
|
| Subsequently, the rabbits were euthanized and the corneas harvested for microscopic examination. |
|
| The walking wounded were often blind, their pupils, irises, and corneas burned out. |
|
| Stanford University now has a bioengineering program that brings together engineering, medical, and other faculty to collaborate on projects such as artificial corneas. |
|
| Tissues include corneas, bone and tendons, heart valves and skin grafts. |
|
| They have been approved for phototherapeutic keratectomy, which is used to treat diseased, scarred corneas. |
|
| The chemicals may affect the oxygen transmissibility factor which allows the corneas to breathe. |
|
| The use of femtosecond lasers in corneal transplants has created a revolution in more precise matching between donor and recipient corneas and better refractive outcomes. |
|
| Hours after the tragic accident, his corneas were removed at the Makati Medical Center and donated by his mother, actress Ali Sotto, to the Eye Bank Foundation. |
|
| Developed by German engineers, the Allegretto Wave system maintains the natural shape of patients' corneas, resulting in sharper vision both in daylight and dim conditions. |
|
| Corneas can be retrieved for transplantation as viable tissues, and so can skin, for even up to twenty-four hours after death in a conventional sense. |
