An elderly man who lost his sight ten years ago suddenly regained his vision in Israel after an artificial cornea developed by an Israeli company was implanted in his eye.
As reported by Israel HaYom, Israel-based startup CorNeat successfully transplanted an artificial cornea into a 78-year-old man’s eye. The CorNeat KPro implant replaces deformed, scarred or opacified corneas as it melds with the eye wall. “The lens of the device is designed to integrate with ocular tissue using a patented synthetic non-degradable nanofabric skirt, which is placed under the conjunctiva,” Israel HaYom explained last July.
