Scraping Without Endothelial Keratoplasty: A Pilot Laboratory Investigation of an Innovative Approach to Endothelial Regeneration Therapy
Scraping without endothelial keratoplasty can be performed effectively using the cell scraper and offers a potential alternative to endothelial keratoplasty, which can be effective in treating bullous keratopathy with healthy peripheral endothelial cells. ROCKi enhances wound healing, supporting further clinical testing and potentially delaying corneal tissue implantation.
