Russian scientists have developed unique eye cornea implant

According to researchers at I. M. Sechenov University, on average, 1 in 2000 people in the world suffer from pathologies of the visual organs requiring corneal transplantation. In addition, people often traumatise their eyes and also need surgery. However, there is a shortage of donor material.

Therefore, scientists have developed a unique technology for making an implant from collagen. Tests on rabbits are going on successfully. To learn about the preliminary results of the development testing and plans for its implementation, watch the video by TV BRICS.
