Development of a synthetic Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis (OOKP) device
The cornea is an avascular, transparent, and the most anterior layer of the eye, where light penetrates to focus on the retina to create a visual perception. It is responsible for 2/3 of the refractive power of the eye. The corneal epithelium has a rapid cell turnover rate. The sloughing off of the...
