Long-term survival of cryopreserved corneal endothelium. 1985

R O Schultz, and M Matsuda, and R W Yee, and D B Glasser, and S M Sabin, and H F Edelhauser

Corneas of five patients who received cryopreserved penetrating grafts 15 years previously were evaluated by regional specular microscopy and computer-assisted morphometric analysis. This technique quantitates changes in cell size and shape as well as cell number. Comparisons were made with five eyes in four patients 15 years after penetrating keratoplasty utilizing fresh grafts. In three patients, fresh and frozen tissue were transplanted in the same host. These examinations showed no difference in structure or function comparing cryopreserved tissue with fresh donor tissue.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
