Older Corneas Suitable for Transplantation, Study Shows
The age pool of corneas for transplant should be expanded to include
donors up to 75 years of age, based on findings from a study funded
by the National Eye Institute (NEI), one of the National Institutes
of Health (NIH). Corneal transplants using tissue from older donors
have similar rates of survival to those using tissue from younger
donors.
