00:01Ophthalmic surgeons work with scientists at Session of University to transplant an artificial cornea into a rabbit.
00:08If successful, such an implant could be used in surgeries for people suffering from eye diseases.
00:14This stage was preceded by long and meticulous process to obtain the innovative material.
00:20The initial trials were not successful.
00:48But a new operation has shown that the implant developed by the scientist has successfully integrated.
00:54Now the test subjects, and there are several of them, being monitored.
00:59However, preliminary results already allow experts to talk about a revolution in ophthalmology.
01:05The raw material for the artificial cornea comes from the tendons of large cattle.
01:20Collagen solution is extracted from them and under the influence of electric current transformed into a foil.
01:39The technology is considered a breakthrough and has no analogs in the world.
01:46Collagen is not rejected by the body, quickly takes root, and the resulting cornea
01:50is almost indistinguishable from a human one.
01:57According to researchers at Session of University, on average, one in two thousand people suffers from pathologies requiring corneal transplantation.
02:05In the future, experts intend to improve the implant to significantly enhance its integration, making it suitable for the most complex cases.
