Radical Approach to Self-Healing Materials Japanese chemists have made a covalently cross-linked gel that can repair itself simply by bringing the broken surface together. The new material can heal itself even after damaged surfaces have been kept apart for as long as five days. |

Artificial Cornea Set for Clinical Trials Next Year A European research team has developed a polymer-based artificial cornea that could go into human trials as soon as next spring. If successful, the corneas could help the millions of blind people worldwide who are unable to get a transplant because of the dearth of human donors. |

Management of Corneal Abrasions Corneal abrasions result from cutting, scratching, or abrading the thin, protective, clear coat of the exposed anterior portion of the ocular epithelium. Although eye patching traditionally has been recommended in the treatment of corneal abrasions, multiple well-designed studies show that patching does not help and may hinder healing. |
