NIIOS R&D
At NIIOS Research & Development we develop tissue preparation methods and surgical techniques with a focus on advanced lamellar keratoplasty.
Developing a new surgical protocol encompasses more than just the operation itself. We also look at new ways to harvest and prepare donor tissue and to develop new surgical instruments and medical devices. We closely monitor and evaluate clinical outcomes of procedures such as (advanced) DMEK and Bowman layer transplantation in order to continually improve and refine these techniques.

ECD and DMEK Graft Survival
Five-year DMEK graft survival in eyes with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy is negatively affected by low 6-month endothelial cell density.
NIIOS Cornea Evening
It was a pleasure to contribute to the NIIOS Cornea Evening on May 29 with presentations and discussions along with international colleagues.
DMEK Graft Cell Viability
Our findings on how graft preparation and storage affect endothelial cell viability of DMEK grafts have just been published.
