Integrated 3D bioprinting-based geometry-control strategy for fabricating corneal substitutes.

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the feasibility of customized design, analysis, and fabrication of a corneal substitute. The programmability of this method opens up the possibility of producing substitutes for other cornea-like shell structures with different scale and geometry features, such as the glomerulus, atrium, and oophoron.
