Reversing blindness now easier - Standard Health

Reversing blindness now easier Health & Science - By Killiad Sinide | February 1st 2021 at 11:00:00 GMT +0300 It is the window of your eye; a very important part of your peepers. Should you scratch or injure it, it will do its best to self-repair. But woe unto you if the damage to the cornea is severe. Corneal diseases are the second leading cause of blindness in most developing countries after uncorrected refractive errors and cataracts. The World Health Organisation estimates that about 2 million people suffer from corneal blindness every year.

A cornea transplant is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a dead donor. The cornea is the transparent part of the eye that covers the front portion.

Cornea Implant Helps Blind Man See Again

A recent article from NoCamels discussed a surgical procedure that restored a blind man’s eyesight. The operation was the first artificial cornea implantation performed by CorNeat Vision, an Israeli medtech company. The patient became bilaterally blind 10 years ago due to damage caused by edema, and is now the world’s first successful recipient of CorNeat’s synthetic cornea. The director of the Ophthalmology Department at Rabin Medical Center performed the procedure, which allowed the patient to see family and read text immediately after the bandages were removed. “The surgical procedure was straightforward and the result exceeded all of our expectations,” Professor Bahar said in a statement. “The moment we took off the bandages was an emotional and significant moment. Moments like these are the fulfillment of our calling as doctors. We are proud of being at the forefront of this exciting and meaningful project which will undoubtedly impact the lives of millions.”
