Global survey reveals a severe shortage of donor tissue with only one cornea available per seventy needed worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for corneal bioengineering.
Our survey globally quantified the considerable shortage of corneal graft tissue, with only 1 cornea available for 70 needed. Efforts to encourage cornea donation must continue in all countries, but it is also essential to develop alternative and/or complementary solutions, such as corneal bioengineering.
