Preloaded Descemet membrance endothelial keratoplasty: A study of the last decade Nature, 2026 Purpose: Preloaded Descemt membrance endothelial keratoplasty (pl-DMEK) involves ready-to-use eye-bank validated tissues. Clinical studies have demonstrated postoperative outcomes comparable to surgeon-prepared tissues, with endolethium-in (endo-in) and endothelium-out (endo-out) configurations. pl-DMEK improves procedural standardization, surgical efficiency, and tissue utilization while lowering technical barries to DMEK adoption. This meta-analysis consolidated clinical outcomes of pl-DMEK with endo-in and endo-out
Agentic Artificial Intelligence in Eye Banking: A Proposed Workflow Eye Banking and Corneal Transplantation, 2026 Purpose: To develop an agentic artificial intelligence (AI) framework that streamlines and standardizes eye bank operations by automating donor screening, image analysis, and tissue suitability assessment under expert supervision.
