Abstract: A method for expanding human corneal endothelial cells includes: (a) providing an amniotic membrane with or without amniotic cells, wherein the amniotic membrane has an extracellular matrix; (b) placing onto the amniotic membrane, a sheet of endothelial layer, or a cell suspension including human corneal endothelial stem cells; and (c) culturing the corneal endothelial cells on the amniotic membrane for a duration sufficient for the corneal endothelial stem cells to expand to an appropriate area. The invention also relates to a method for creating a surgical graft for a recipient site of a patient using the method for expanding human corneal endothelial cells, and the surgical graft prepared therefrom.

Abstract: Transplantation of epithelial stem cells, cultured ex vivo on specifically treated amniotic membrane, yields, with that amniotic membrane, a surgical graft having expanded epithelial stem cells. The method of creating this graft and the graft itself are simple and effective to reconstruct damaged tissue, a preferred example being corneal tissue. The source of the epithelial stem cells can be a very small explant from healthy autologous and allogeneic tissue biopsy. The amniotic membrane is treated such that its extracellular matrix is maintained, but its cells are killed.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide an intraocular lens that may accommodate automatically, including a central optic having an anterior optic connected with the stroke cylinder, a posterior optic connected with the outer core which is connected with the stroke cylinder, thereby enclosing the central optic in an inner periphery. Thus, by change of the inclined angle of the user, or by variation of the external magnetic field, the push force that is exerted on the central optic of the intraocular lens may be regulated, so as to actively control the position of the central optic of the intraocular lens, so that the user may actively control and regulate the refractive power of the eyeball that is implanted with the intraocular lens.

Abstract: A microkeratome and method for performing lamellar keratoplasty is disclosed. The microkeratome consist of a cutting blade with a curved sharp edge. In surgery, a programmed curved guide rail is utilized to guide the cutting blade to move along a programmed curved path so that achieve a near spherical curved cutting pathway so as to cut the cornea in near its original un-flattened normal position. The microkeratome for performing lamellar keratoplasty includes a vacuum suction ring with guide rails, a cutting head assembly with a cambered cutting blade and curved front press and curved rear press. By controlling the internal components of the tool so that the vacuum suction ring can fix an eyeball.
