Explore the complex anatomy of the eyes and discover how biocompatible medical biomaterials are revolutionising surgical interventions and treatments, enhancing vision care and patient outcomes.
Beschreibung
The eyes are complex organs responsible for vision, comprising delicate structures such as the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve. Medical interventions in the eyes require biomaterials that are both highly biocompatible and precisely engineered to integrate with these sensitive tissues. Biomaterials play a pivotal role in eye care, from supporting vision restoration to enhancing healing processes in corneal transplants and retinal repairs.
Anwendungsfälle
- Corneal Transplants and Repairs: Advanced bioengineered membranes and soft tissue grafts are used to replace damaged corneal tissue, aiding in vision restoration and protecting sensitive eye tissues.
- Retinal Repairs and Detachments: Tissue scaffolds and bioinks facilitate retinal repair, stabilising the retina and supporting cell integration to maintain visual function.
- Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): Biocompatible polymers and implants replace the eye’s natural lens during cataract surgery, improving vision clarity and reducing postoperative complications.
- Drug Delivery Systems for Eye Conditions: Localised drug delivery systems allow for controlled release of medications to treat conditions like glaucoma or infections, minimising systemic side effects.
- Artificial Tears and Eye Surface Protection: Polymers and bioengineered lubricants provide moisture and support healing for dry or irritated eyes, particularly after surgical procedures.
