A new study from the University of Auckland in New Zealand found that human corneal substitutes can be made from proteins in the eyes of salmon. The study is expected to address the shortage of corneal donation.
Researchers at the University of Auckland say they can get rich protein from the eyes of salmon, and use them to create biomaterials for human “corneal tissue engineeringâ€, which is to make corneal substitutes.
Alambi, the medical director and top ophthalmologist at the London Focus Clinic, said the news brought hope to thousands of people at risk of blindness. “In a recent trial in the UK, doctors used implants for the first time. This is really encouraging news. However, the synthesis technology is still in its infancy, and surgery is expected to begin in 2017. If the eyes of the Fish Crystal research has proven to be effective, and it will change the fate of thousands of people in this country and around the world."
Dominan, a bioscience researcher at the University of Auckland, said the graft is unlikely to face human rejection.
Globally, approximately 10 million people suffer from corneal blindness, but due to lack of corneal donation, only 100,000 people can undergo transplant surgery each year.
