First seen Apr 11, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether briefly soaking a corneal graft in a plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) before transplant surgery can reduce the loss of important eye cells after the operation. About 100 people with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy or corneal edema who need a corneal transplant will take part. The goal is to see if this simple step helps preserve the graft's health and improve long-term outcomes.
