Cornea bioengineering is now a fast-growing and exciting field that has seen so much innovation that technologies developed for the cornea are also now being applied to other target organs in regenerative medicine.
For the patients in poorer countries who do not have eye bank infrastructure, or those high-risk patients who are not amenable to a conventional donor cornea transplantation, bioengineered corneas represent hope for eyesight restoration in corneal blind patients all over the world.
