Effect of Corneal Preservation Time on Long-Term Graft Success
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of preservation time on corneal transplants. It will compare the preservation time up to the FDA limit of 14 days and hopes to determine that longer preservation time does not adversely impact graft success and endothelial cell density.

Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking of Keratoprosthesis Carrier Tissue in High-Risk Keratoprosthesis Implantation
This is a prospective, randomized, vehicle-controlled clinical trial evaluating corneal collagen cross-linking the keratoprothesis carrier tissue in subjects who are candidates for high-risk keratoprosthesis implantation because of a history of corneal melts, sterile corneal ulcers, or autoimmune diseases.
