Comparative Performance Analysis of Corneal Characteristics During Extended Hypothermic Storage in XTRA4 and Optisol-GS
XTRA4 preserves the corneal endothelium similarly to Optisol-GS for up to 14 days while maintaining consistently thinner corneas for up to 28 days. This antiswelling property may improve eye bank logistics and support future laboratory and clinical studies toward extending hypothermic storage beyond the current 14-day limit.
