Bridging the gap: The promise of corneal bioengineering and regeneration.

In recent years, significant advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have led to innovative approaches in addressing the various challenges associated with corneal transplants using bioengineered corneas. This mini-review aims to introduce the general ophthalmologist to the concept and technique of bioengineered cornea and provide an overview of the developments so far and an insight into the future direction. By summarizing the latest research and current limitations, we aim to highlight their potential for the future in ultimately contributing to vision restoration.
