Examining the Impact of Corneal Tissue Transnational Activity, and Transplantation, on Import and Export Nations: A Review of the Literature

Conclusions: All aspects of CT TNA are grossly under-reported, resulting in our inability to effectively analyze the overall impact to export and import nations. The few clinical studies in our review concluded that despite endothelial cell loss and other risk factors, imported CT appears comparable with domestic CT and remains an option in the absence of domestic supply. Nonclinical aspects (eg, ethical, equitable, and economic) have also not been adequately addressed.
