Funded Activity Summary

Corneal disease and trauma are major causes of blindness. Corneal trauma requires surgical repair and vision lost from disease may be restored with corneal transplantation. In both cases sutures are used and can have significant complications. Application of a new surgical adhesive for cost-effective, quick and easy corneal surgery with enhanced wound healing is an innovative solution to a major problem in public health with manifold implications in the field of eye surgery
