Corneal quality assessment for corneal transplantation using hyperspectral imaging

Cornea is the most widely transplanted human tissue. To ensure good surgical results and effective visual recovery, thorough screening of donors and donor tissues is necessary throughout the process [1]. This screening minimizes the risk of transmitting infectious diseases and environmental contaminants to the recipient, while also guaranteeing the transplant’s high optical and functional quality. Therefore, the quality assessment of the cornea at various stages - from donor selection to the transplantation procedure is crucial to ensure its longevity and effectiveness.
