Artificial corneaThe present break in medicine was made by the Swedish scientists. In laboratory conditions they have framed the artificial cornea of an eye stimulating restoration of sight.
The artificial cornea is made of the synthetic collagen precisely repeating structure of a cornea of an eye. At creation yeast and human DNA are used. At tests with participation of volunteers new working out has shown excellent results. At 10 patients with sight gross infringements, it has considerably improved. Six patients to see became better four times, than it was before operation! The others corrected sight by means of contact lenses.

Side benefit was that tearing away of the replaced tissues has not occurred. As consequence, the preparations suppressing immunity were not required.

This success opens the big possibilities before surgeons. Not the secret, that a natural cornea of an eye for transplantation is deficiency. People with sight disturbances are compelled to wait for operation long. But now the situation can change to the best with introduction artificial implants. implants stimulate neogenesis of nerves and cells in an eye. Natural process of restoration of tissues begins. This huge advantage in comparison with other kinds of an artificial cornea of an eye.
