Sealing Penetrating Eye Injuries Using Photoactivated Bonding

Abstract

This is our annual report for the Sealing Penetrating Eye Injuries using Photoactivated Bonding project. The overall goal of this project is to develop a light-activated technology to improve the surgical closures of traumatic eye injuries, with the potential to decrease vision loss and ocular complications in warfighters sustaining penetrating eye injuries. The scope of the research includes evaluating two light-activated approaches- one where the amniotic membrane is stained with dyed and treated with green light, and another were the dye is applied to the wound walls before being activated by green light to close the wound.
